VIDEO: Pieta House CEO Brian Higgins: “We need to make your voices heard”

Tony Cuddihy

“We have the voices, we have the stories, we have the pain and we have the agony of 22,000 people who have been through the doors of Pieta House.”

Brian Higgins is the CEO of Pieta House, the suicide and self harm crisis centre that has become an increasingly important force in dealing with mental health problems across the country in the last decade.

Speaking, among many other things, about Darkness Into Light – the organisation’s flagship, global event – Brian told the audience at #JOElive last week about his vision for the future of Ireland.

A future, he hopes, where the centre he runs is no longer needed.
