CEO of Turn2Me Tullamore's Fiona O'Malley says such events can cause anxiety in communities.
Protesters say they will continue their campaign against the use of Citywest hotel in Dublin as an IPAS centre.
100 people staged a peaceful demonstration last night, following scenes of rioting the previous two nights.
There was no violence at last night's protest, with the public order unit on standby.
Mental Health Charity, Turn2Me is tripling the number of free counselling sessions available next week in response to the events of this week.
CEO and Tullamore's Fiona O'Malley says being exposed to violence can grow anxiety in communities:
