Today is the last day of the Green Ribbon campaign, which aims to raise awareness of depression and get people talking about their mental health.
There are lots of stories in the media about depression, but are the strategies we’re using to combat it the most effective?
Sarah discussed this with her panel today. She was joined by:
- Hazel Larkin, writer and ambassador for See Change, the mental health awareness organisation,
- Leslie Shoemaker, counselling psychologist,
- Colman Noctor, psychotherapist at St. Patrick’s Hospital, Dublin.
