Welcome to LA519
A resource of hope and action in the journey toward mental well-being and suicide prevention. Our name, LA519, holds a profound meaning that encapsulates our mission and inspiration.
“LA” stands not only for Luke Aughey, whose life and untimely departure in May 2019 deeply inspire our cause, but also for Local Action—a principle we believe is pivotal in addressing and preventing suicide.
Our website is crafted with a singular purpose: to be a comprehensive resource for individuals facing mental health challenges, with a particular emphasis on supporting teenagers grappling with suicidal ideation. Here, you will find a carefully curated collection of resources, including links to local Mental Health Services, Suicide Prevention Services, and a register of qualified Psychotherapists.

Support LA519
LA519 is a non-profit organisation set up on the 30th of March 2021 by Barry Aughey and Deirdre Costello on what should have been their son Luke’s 18th birthday. Sadly their world was turned upside down when they lost Luke to suicide on the 25th of May 2019. He had just turned 16.

THE WAY OF SAINT FRANCIS WITH LA519
Barry, Dylan & Shane will be walking a 100km pilgrimage in Umbria, Italy this July known as ‘The Way of Saint Francis’. They will be undertaking this venture in memory of Luke and in aid of suicide prevention on behalf of LA519. All proceeds go towards funding vital QPR training for individuals and groups that could potentially save lives.
THE DUNMURRAY DIPPER CHALLENGE
The Dunmurry Dippers are aiming to swim in cold water every day for 365 days starting on 1st January 2023 in aid of LA519 to remember Luke and increase awareness of suicide prevention and mental health resources. The main coordinator is Dessie Aughey originally from Smithboro, Monaghan and now living in Dunmurry, Belfast. Find out more here.
LA519 represents Luke’s initials and the month and year he died. Barry and Deirdre want Luke’s legacy to make a difference and help those that need it.
