A Cavan mental health ambassador says we should create the need to talk about mental health.
23 year old Ronan Patterson is the founder of Need To Talk, a clothing brand and online resource for mental health supports.
He launched the brand during the Covid-19 pandemic and is now a public speaker who shares his own personal journey and highlights the help that is out there.
Today is World Mental Health Day, but Ronan says we need to normalise having conversations about well-being on a daily basis.
He told The Wider View that people can do one simple thing to mark the day.
