About Please Talk
PleaseTalk is a campaign that began in University College Dublin in 2007 to combat youth mental health problems. PleaseTalk operates in two ways:
1) Spreading the message that ‘Talking is a Sign of Strength’.
Much ‘counselling’ happens in conversations among fellow students; therefore it is vital to listen when a friend chooses to trust us with something important.
2) Operating an online directory of support services for students.
Visit pleasetalk.ie/ucd for a full list of the support you can avail of on and off-campus.
Everyone is important and we all need help at some point in our lives.
With the support of staff and students it is hoped that:
- All students will hear about relevant student services especially in times of crisis and will know how to access them
- It will be realised that to look for help is a real sign of strength and not a sign of weakness
- All difficulties, academic, personal or financial will be responded to by caring and available staff.
