mental health support

A comprehensive directory of mental health services for Roscommon has been launched by a local team of volunteers.

The charity compiled the A-Z directory over the last number of months with numbers and contact details for confidential phones lines, 24 hours emergency services, family supports and more included in the booklet.

The directory is available in libraries across Roscommon and through Family Resource Centres, the Primary Care Centre and Citizens Information offices.

The group also plan to launch an app later this year that will feature a digital version of the booklet, the project receiving support from Mental Health Ireland and Roscommon Mental Health Services.

Development Officer for Roscommon and Mayo with Mental Health Ireland, Teresa Keane is encouraging local GPs to contact the group to secure a copy of the directory.
