Fermanagh and Omagh District Council are working in partnership with Contact NI to host 2 briefing sessions on a suicide prevention bill tomorrow.
'Contact' is a charity that strives to "help people help themselves, especially when life seems too much to cope with alone".
They employ professionally qualified counsellors who have experience of working with people who face a wide range of problems every day, while offering free services to all of its users.
During the briefing sessions, they will outline the emerging evidence for a suicide prevention legislation, while including a briefing of the proposed bill.
There will also be Q and A and networking opportunities for those who attend the sessions.
The bill is relevant in Northern Ireland at the moment, following a number of tragedies here locally and the recent high profile tragedies in Derry/Londonderry.
One of the briefings will be held in the Strule Arts Centre in Omagh at 10.30am, while the other will be in the Townhall, Enniskillen at 2.00pm.
Both sessions are free and available to anyone interested.
Details of the briefings are in the link below and have contact numbers for those who may need special arrangements to attend:
