It’s two years since Sligo GAA footballer Red Óg Murphy died by suicide.
As part of his family’s efforts to keep the issue of Mental Health at the forefront of young people’s minds, the Murphys are organising a free public event in Summerhill College, Sligo on Friday, May 24th, at 7:30pm.
An Evening About Mental Health will feature speakers from the sporting community, including former Ireland rugby international Alan Quinlan, ex-Dublin Gaelic footballer Philly McMahon, sports psychologist Caroline Currid and comedian and mental health advocate Rory O’Connor, of Rory’s Stories fame.
The event is free and the aim of the evening is to give people hope.
It’s for young people of Sligo and beyond, whether they are involved in sport or not.
It’s for parents too – or anybody who thinks it might be useful to their situation is more than welcome to come along.
