Slane Spinners

A huge thanks to Slane Spinners who presented us with a cheque of €4,313 the proceeds from Slane Spinners 13th annual sportive held on May 7th when Slane Spinners welcomed 236 brave cyclists to Stackallen to take on their cycle challenge. 

 Without events like this SOSAD could not provide the services we do. SOSAD offer support and services for people who are struggling with suicidal ideation, self-harming, depression, bereavement, stress and anxiety, or if you simply need to talk.  If you want to talk, we are here to listen. You can message us, call us, or call into our office.  We have six offices based in Cavan, Louth, Meath, Monaghan and Laois from which we provide our services. 

 In the 2022 SOSAD provided 17,837 one on one counselling sessions which is up from our 2021 figure of 15,965!  Please note that this number reflects one-to-one counselling only and does not include phone support, the Messaging Service, or any group work.

Again, a huge thanks to everyone involved.  It is so much appreciated by all of us at SOSAD.

Carol Murphy SOSAD General Manager “Mental health is a pressing issue in Ireland, with high rates of suicide and mental illness affecting many individuals and communities.  We need to break the stigma around our mental health. Without the support of events like Slane Spinners Cycle event we just could not provide and help our service users. Go raibh maith agat”
