A reminder is being issued to people in Clare that mental health supports are "for everybody" as the New Year approaches. An EU-wide study conducted this year found that 20% of Irish people feel lonely more or all of the time which is the highest rate in Europe, with the average being just 13%. The HSE is advising those who are encountering emotional issues in any form over this period to contact their local GP, mental health team, Shannondoc at 0818 123 500, Pieta House at 1800 247 247, Samaritans at 116 123, or any other mental health charity. Suicide Prevention Resource Officer with HSE Midwest Mick Collins says you don't need to be in crisis to seek out someone to talk to.
