Cllr. Johnston said: “Mental health is just as important as our physical health and maintaining it should be a priority for every one.

“One in four people in Northern Ireland will experience a problem with their mental health, yet very few are willing to talk about the subject openly.

“This event will provide details of where the service provision is in the area, depending on the need as an individual. If successful, I hope to plan futher mental health events in Carrickfergus to raise awareness and reduce stigma.”

If you would like to attend this event, please register your interest via email to [email protected]
