Understanding Suicide A New Lens by Brendan O’Brien

This book responds to the need to explore new ways of dealing with suicide and suicidal ideation. It presents insights gained from working with upwards of 200 individuals and families touched by suicide over a ten-year period. 

All our work involves listening to and being with those who have struggled with suicide in their family. Over the years we have built up a core group of people who make themselves available to support others. They are the ones who “get it”. They are the real experts when it comes to understanding suicide as part of our humanity. 

Brendan and Eileen trained and lectured on the Degree Course in Counselling and Psychotherapy in MTU, Cork. They have been involved in Family Constellations Work for over 25 years. They have delivered free-of charge Workshops on Suicide in Cork, Dublin, Limerick and Waterford since 2014.
