Today is one of those good days. After months of working together with the National Office for Suicide Prevention and our partner organisations from the world of mental health, the new national strategy to reduce suicide and empower people to improve their mental health was launched today by An Taoiseach Enda Kenny, Minister Kathleen Lynch and our very own See Change ambassador Gary Seery.
The “Connecting for Life” strategy calls for collaboration from departments, organisations, communities and individuals and for every one of us to play our part in creating an open and supportive society towards mental health.
Speaking at the launch, See Change ambassador Gary Seery spoke of his how own recovery journey reflects the innovative approach of the strategy where “mental health is everybody’s business and there is a role for all of us in looking after ourselves and supporting others.”
