Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Northern Ireland

Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention is an American based Suicide Prevention Charity. Dr Arthur Cassidy is licensed to operate a branch here in Portadown NI.

We are dedicated to preventing suicide attempts that we know about by empowering individuals and communities through leadership, awareness and education and by identifying and collaborating with support networks to reduce stigma and help save lives. We work towards the aims of Governments Protect Life Strategy.
Individuals are referred to us via their GP or have come to us themselves, sometimes in emergency situations. We as a team of University of Ulster Psychology placement students, carry out under supervision by Dr Arthur Cassidy, professionally applied psychological techniques which bring hope peace and restoration of appropriate mental health functioning and emotional regulation and resilience.
We have a 24 x 7 mental health Lifeline taken care off by a fully registered Psychiatric nurse.
