Suicide continues to alarm across island of Ireland. Study ⬇️ highlights alcohol use as a substantive risk factor for death by suicide and underscores the importance of monitoring alcohol use among suicidal individuals and screening for suicidality among heavier alcohol users.

Calls for more awareness & support for Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder as new @RCSI_Irl research says Ireland has 3rd highest #FASD rate but lacks adequate services @drivetimerte @RTERadio1 @FASDIreland

The irony within this link.. ⬇️
"If your child is diagnosed and treated early, they can learn to manage symptoms better"
2025 & we still await HSE FASD diagnostic pathway & delivery of FASD support services. #FASD #disability

[HSE Health & Wellbeing @HsehealthW]

Today on #FASDAwareness Day, we’re reminding everyone: no amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy. Partners, family & friends play a big role in supporting alcohol-free pregnancies.

This evening Leinster House is illuminated in the colour red to mark Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Awareness Day. #SeeForYourself #FASDAwarenessDay

[endpae @endpae]

Instead of doing what we always do.. @AlcoholIreland @HsehealthW @hrbireland could highlight the hidden story of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in Ireland. #FASD belongs front and centre in all communications. Change the message, change the stats. #FASDIrl #FASD #FASDAwareness

[AlcoholActionIreland @AlcoholIreland]

New report shows alcohol remains Ireland’s largest drug problem by far. 73% of population consume alcohol compared to 7.3% using any illegal drugs. With 1 in 5 drinkers having an Alcohol Use Disorder, there is a clear need for a new vision around alcohol. https://t.co/96T7kEZHbS

[endpae @endpae]

Ireland estimated 3rd highest global rate of maternal alcohol use. HSE estimate prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in Ireland at 2.8  - 7.4% of the population.

@ITletters 76 advocates call on govt to stay the course & introduce health info labels on alcohol products as planned. @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD have faced down ferocious industry lobbying in the past & must do so again now.

@MaggieMayFASD @HsehealthW @FASDIreland @OCO_ireland We were shocked too, but it's a choice taken by the HSE and in not publishing names/minutes of EAG a choice they continue to make.

[endpae @endpae]

@HsehealthW when setting up the FASD Expert Advisory Group, excluded FASD lived exp stakeholder opting just for maternity lived exp! No EAG member names/minutes/updates published! NOTHING! Despite all #FASD advocacy builds momentum in @FASDIreland & @endpae #FASDIrl @OCO_ireland

[endpae @endpae]

ENDPAE wish you well and look forward to you sharing lots of new FASD research with us.

[David Gerry @fasdsuccession]

Heading to the Madrid FASD conference soon to present a poster session FASD Succession Planning for Parents and Caregivers. Really looking forward to meeting others on this journey and learning about the latest research that can light the way.
