Monaghan Macra will host a series of events across the month of October in support of Mental Health Awareness. A "mental health walk" will take place tomorrow evening in Rossmore Forrest Park at 7pm.
Aoife McCooey is the PRO for Monaghan Macra. Speaking to Northern Sound, Aoife revealed that the health initiative came as a result of funding issued by Connecting for Life Cavan/Monaghan and the HSE.
According to Aoife, the funding is centred around mental health with the aim to promote and encourage positive mental health and wellbeing, reduce the stigma around talking openly about mental health and reducing social isolation among the rural youth in Co Monaghan.
