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.[1] Pieta HouseFreeman 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.[2] 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.[3][4] The 5km 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.[4] 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.[5] The service was initially created to serve the Irish diaspora in New York, but has since supported and counselled people from many different nationalities.[6] Political careerIn 2016, Freeman was nominated by then Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, as a member of Seanad Éireann.[7] She helped form, and now chairs, Ireland's first Committee on the Future of Mental Healthcare.[8] 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,[9] at one time speaking to raise awareness on suicide prevention training programmes provided by Pieta House.[10] Freeman received the nomination of four councils required to be a candidate in the 2018 Irish presidential election.[1] The incumbent President Michael D. Higgins was running for re-election and an election was held on 26 October 2018.[11] The Times described Freeman as having "strong family links with the anti-abortion movement".[12][13][14] Her sister, Theresa Lowe, and her niece, Maria Steen, argued for a No vote in the referendum to repeal the Eighth Amendment on televised debates on RTÉ and TV3. Steen is a member of the Iona Institute.[15][16] Freeman has said that although she voted No in the referendum, she "would be happy to carry the voice of the people and sign resulting legislation into law as president" and noted her daughter's involvement in the Yes campaign.[17] Independent TD Mattie McGrath will support Freeman if she runs, stating that "a good Catholic president would be refreshing".[15] If elected, Freeman has said she will set up a "National Assembly of Well-being".[18]During the campaign, the Irish Independent reported on a speech by Freeman in which she claimed that her eczema had been miraculously cured following a visit to Knock Shrine when she was a teenager.[19] Personal lifeFreeman is a native of Dublin. The sixth of the eight children of Marie and John Lowe, she lived in Warwickshire, England, where her parents moved when she was a baby. Her family returned to Dublin when she was 12, and her father took up a job managing his brother's pub, The Sword, on Camden Street.[20] She is married to Patrick Freeman and has four children.[21] She holds a degree and MA in psychology. In June 2018, Freeman received the Trailblazer Award from the Women's Executive Network, Ireland.[22] References1. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2018/0910/992732-presidential-election-councils/|title=Freeman and Gallagher both secure nominations for Áras bids|date=10 September 2018|work=RTÉ News|access-date=10 September 2018}} {{Members of the 25th Seanad}}{{Authority control}}{{Use dmy dates|date=August 2016}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Freeman, Joan}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pieta.ie/about|title=About Pieta House|publisher=Pieta House|access-date=18 July 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thejournal.ie/darkness-into-light-tenth-year-4005189-May2018/|title=In photos: Stunning summer morning as 200,000 walk from Darkness into Light|first=Cliodhna|last=Russell|publisher=}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/over-200000-dawn-walkers-take-part-in-darkness-into-light-in-venues-across-ireland-and-worldwide-36899530.html|title=Over 200,000 dawn walkers take part in 'Darkness into Light' in venues across Ireland and worldwide|date=12 May 2018|access-date=18 July 2018}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.thejournal.ie/joan-freeman-leaving-pieta-house-3672708-Oct2017/|title=Pieta House founder Joan Freeman leaving charity for new mental health project in New York|publisher=TheJournal.ie|date=31 October 2017|accessdate=1 August 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://solacehouseinc.com/|title=Solace House – Suicide Prevention Center|publisher=Solace House|website=solacehouseinc.com|access-date=18 July 2018}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/members/member/Joan-Freeman.S.2016-04-25/|title=Joan Freeman|work=Oireachtas Members Database|access-date=2 August 2018}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/committees/32/future-mental-health-care/membership/|title=Committee on Future of Mental Health Care|date=13 July 2018|website=www.oireachtas.ie}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.catholicbishops.ie/justice/|title=Council for Justice and Peace of the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference|access-date=3 July 2018|publisher=Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180508104257/https://www.catholicbishops.ie/justice/|archive-date=8 May 2018}}{{cite web|url=http://www.catholicbishops.ie/justice/|title=Council for Justice and Peace of the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference|access-date=3 July 2018|publisher=Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180515214505/https://www.catholicbishops.ie/justice/|archive-date=15 May 2018}} 10. ^{{cite magazine|url=https://www.catholicbishops.ie/2013/04/04/16936/|magazine=Intercom|publisher=Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference|date=April 2013|title=A Pastoral Response to Suicide|first=Nicola|last=Rooney|pages=10-11}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/pieta-house-founder-joan-freeman-seeks-nomination-for-aras-election-37132039.html|title=Pieta House founder Joan Freeman seeks nomination for Aras election|author=Doyle, Kevin|publisher=Irish Independent|date=18 July 2018|access-date=18 July 2018}} 12. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/catholic-support-for-joan-freeman-tackling-the-presidency-78vt525d9|title=Catholic support for Joan Freeman tackling the presidency|last=Justine McCarthy|date=8 July 2018|work=The Times|publisher=News UK|accessdate=2 August 2018}} 13. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.thejournal.ie/presidential-election-2018-addressing-waterford-4157094-Jul2018/|title='What's wrong with a President who wears wellies?' -
