If you suspect someone in your life is struggling, don't wait for them to reach out.
We're being encouraged to help spread hope ahead of World Suicide Prevention Day tomorrow.
This year's theme is 'Creating Hope through Action', in an effort to create a more caring and mindful society.
Isolation and anxiety stemming from the pandemic is still major factor affecting people's mental health, according to Accessible Counselling Tullamore.
