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.
Self-Harm Registry
What is the Registry? The National Self-Harm Registry Ireland is a system that records and reports information about self-harm presentations to hospital Emergency Departments across the country. The Registry was established in 2000 by the National Suicide Research Foundation at
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.
Our evaluation of the @NCP_SHSI showed that the development of a dedicated service for people presenting to the emergency department with self-harm and suicidal ideation led to significant improvements in the provision of care. It's so great to see this published!
One of the key papers from our @hrbireland funded #PRISM study has been published! The findings demonstrate the impact of the @NCP_SHSI on processes of care and standardising support for a vulnerable patient population. Well done @grace_cully for leading on this!
