Around 100 people recently attended a very successful Community Wellbeing Event in Craigavon Civic Centre, with a wide range of parents, young people and community groups all coming down on the night.
The aim of the event was to improve understanding and awareness of the support services in the area, improve access to these services and for participants to gain valuable advice, information and guidance on the issues of alcohol, drugs and mental health.
Guest speaker Rory Sloan from Resolute Minds CIC shared his inspiring personal journey through mental health challenges and addiction, and how he overcame adversity to build a positive future.
Just A Chat NI also attended the event with Conor Hegarty discussing the importance of mental health awareness, breaking down stigma and encouraging people to reach out for support when they need it.
The event was organised by Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Policing & Community Safety Partnership (PCSP) in partnership with Southern Drug and Alcohol Connections Team (SDACT).
