Light a candle

Take part in a candlelight vigil for World Suicide Prevention Day.

3Ts World Suicide Prevention Week Candlelight Vigils

Approximately 600 people die by suicide annually in Ireland. It is a tragedy that devastates families and touches every community. For the last four years, the 3Ts has held a Candlelight Vigil in Dublin to mark World Suicide Prevention Day and last year the organisation expanded this to other centres around the country.  For 2008, there will be vigils in Dublin, Galway, and Wexford. 

The Suicide Prevention Candlelight Vigils are for all who have lost family, colleagues and friends through suicide; to gather, to light a candle and remember lost loved ones.  The vigils also serve to highlight the support of the wider community with special guest speakers, music and a minute's silence. 

3Ts invite you to join the vigils at a choice of venues around the country:
