A Co Monaghan mother who lost her son to suicide is encouraging people to reach out and avail of the help that is out there.
On the 30th of July 2023, the lives of Siobhan O'Sullivan and her close knit family changed forever.
Her son, Ben Lamb O'Sullivan was only 34 years of age when he lost his life to suicide.
Three years on from her son's passing, Siobhan said it's now extremely important for her to help others.
Siobhan praised her local SOSAD service after she herself received support from her local branch in the aftermath of her eldest son's death.
In memory of Ben and to help raise funds for SOSAD Monaghan, the annual Midsummer's Day event will take place tomorrow.
Locals are encouraged to get outside for your mental health and take part in either a 5k run or 2.5k walk at Rossmore Park at 7:30pm.
Jodie Curran has been speaking with Ben's mother Siobhan O'Sullivan and his auntie Mary Lamb about tomorrow's fundraising initiative:
