"Media language and online comments can deepen distress for families already in crisis. The Community Crisis Response Team was founded to equip communities with practical tools to respond to suicide before, during and after a crisis."
The Community Crisis Response Team (CCRT) was established to provide communities with practical resources for responding to suicide across all stages—prevention, crisis intervention, and aftermath. Founded by Dr Kayla Cooley, a Limerick-based suicide researcher, educator, and activist, the organization emerged from her personal experience. Dr Cooley emphasizes that media language and online comments significantly deepen the distress experienced by families already navigating suicide crises. The initiative aims to equip communities with evidence-based tools and strategies to support individuals and families affected by suicide.
