"After a few years of trying to understand why Elisha had been acting out, she finally disclosed that in 2012, she was sexually abused by a person who was known to her and in a position of trust. She was 1 of 5 victims at the hands of the same man."

"After 9 extremely tough months on trying to cope with caring for a child post suicide attempt and giving her reasons to live and value herself once again, Elisha, aged just 14yo, left our home on 17th March 2018 and was never seen alive again. "As a family we are devastated by the loss of Elisha but we will now fight to change the course of Victim support services, CAMHS and campaigning to implement a Self Care Curriculum for Primary and Post primary students to learn better coping skills and develop a better empathy and conflict resolution strategy that we hope will help them through their schooling years but see them through their adult years and hopefully in turn reduce the number of suicides in Ireland Young and Old that we all have to live with today."
