A new mental health initiative has been officially launched for Cavan and Monaghan.
Cavan Monaghan Connects is a collaborative mental health initiative bringing communities together across Cavan and Monaghan.
Led by HSE Connecting for Life Cavan Monaghan, the inter-agency effort aims to improve access to mental health information and supports especially for those at risk of self-harm or suicide.
Specific aims are to promote positive mental health messages, share evidence-based supports and services, reduce stigma around seeking help and encourage a culture of openness and wellbeing.
The project was launched this week by members of Monaghan County Council, Mental Health Ireland, the HSE, and other local groups.
