About Us
The National Suicide Research Foundation is an independent, multi-disciplinary research unit that investigates the causes of suicide and self-harm in Ireland. We are a registered charity (CHY11351) based in University College Cork, Ireland.
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.
National Self-Harm Registry Ireland
The National Self-Harm Registry Ireland is a system that records and reports information about self-harm presentations to hospital Emergency Departments across Ireland.
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.
Press Releases
We routinely circulate press releases to the media to highlight noteworthy publications, achievements or events.
