Elma Walsh

29 Mar 2019

We were delighted to welcome back Elma Walsh, Donal Walsh's mom. She shared Donal's message and her own experiences with our 5th Year students. She spoke about Donal's resilience - "stubbornness" , his love of life and his encouragement for people to value life and to reach out for help and guidance if we feel vulnerable. Donal's message to teenagers and young adults is: "Take time, a door will open - you can go to that door" "Why keep it to yourself when people you love - and who love you - are there to help you. They want to help you. They want to get rid of these feelings yours feeling". Speak to your parents, guardians, friend, teacher, coach etc. or if easier spea to a stranger. There are many support organisations for teenagers and young adults - contact someone. # Livelife www.cycleagainstsuicide.com/ask-for-help/
