Mayo footballer Tom Parsons is encouraging people who may be struggling with their mental health to ‘reach out, speak up, and talk to somebody’.
The well-known midfielder was speaking at the launch of a new pocket-sized information card that has been produced by Mindspace Mayo in association with Mayo GAA, its charity partners, that aims to try and help improve people’s mental health and wellbeing.
The card will be distributed to GAA club members in the county over the coming weeks.
This information campaign coincides with World Mental Health Day next Saturday, October 10th, a day for people to take some time to learn more about their mental health and wellbeing, and the services in the community that can better support them in this regard.
