About the National Suicide Research Foundation
The NSRF is a centre for excellence nationally and internationally in the field of suicide and self-harm prevention.
WHO Collaborating Centre
In December 2015, the National Suicide Research Foundation was designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a WHO Collaborating Centre for Surveillance and Research in Suicide Prevention.
The National Self-Harm Registry Ireland
The National Self-Harm Registry Ireland is a system that records and reports information about people who visit hospital Emergency Departments for self-harm related injuries.
Finding Help
The NSRF is not a service-provider. If you are seeking help for yourself or someone else, there are a number of excellent resources available.

Delighted to participate in @NSRFIreland Strategy launch and their commitment to more co produced research, which includes the Lived Voice. This is essential in developing services and policies to support those bereaved by suicide and in suicide prevention.
