Joan Freeman Biography
Joan Freeman (née Lowe; born 2 April 1958) is an Irish psychologist, mental health activist and an Independent politician who served as a Senator from May 2016 to March 2020, after being nominated by the then Taoiseach, Enda Kenny. She is the founder of Pieta House, a national mental health services charity. She resigned from Pieta House in 2014. She was an unsuccessful candidate in the 2018 presidential election.
Freeman is the founder of Pieta House, a suicide intervention charity established in 2006 in Lucan, County Dublin. Since 2006, Pieta House has established twelve additional centres across Ireland with almost 270 therapists and administration staff, providing free therapeutic services to over 30,000 people. In 2008, Freeman founded the annual fund-raising event Darkness into Light in aid of Pieta House. Begun with 400 participants, approximately 200,000 people participated in the May 2018 recent iteration of the event. The 5 km walk took place across 180 venues worldwide. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was among the 15,000 people who undertook the walk in Dublin’s Phoenix Park.
Freeman resigned from Pieta House in 2014, in order to concentrate on developing Solace House, a similar charity based in New York City launched in 2015. The service was initially created to serve the Irish diaspora in New York, but has since supported and counselled people from many different nationalities.
In 2016, Freeman was nominated by then Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, as a member of Seanad Éireann. She helped form, and now chairs, Ireland’s first Committee on the Future of Mental Healthcare. She is also a member of the Joint Committee on Children and Youth Affairs. She is a former member of the Council for Justice and Peace of the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference, at one time speaking to raise awareness on suicide prevention training programmes provided by Pieta House.
She is married to Patrick Freeman and has four children. She holds a degree and MA in psychology. In June 2018, Freeman received the Trailblazer Award from the Women’s Executive Network, Ireland. In 2019, Trinity College Dublin awarded her with an honorary doctorate.
Freeman received the nomination of four councils required to be a candidate in the 2018 Irish presidential election. The incumbent President Michael D. Higgins was running for re-election and an election was held on 26 October 2018.
