"Stigma breaking" event to be held in Tullamore

Offaly County Council has joined with several other agencies to host “a stigma breaking” event to be held at Tullamore Court Hotel on Monday, November 23.

The event - organised by the council in conjunction with Local Community Safety Partnership, An Garda Síochana, Midland Regional Drug & Alcohol Taskforce, and the HSE - invites anyone aged 12 and above to attend for the information and awareness event which will focus on drug and alcohol use, addiction services, mental health and suicide prevention.

The event is due to start at 7.30pm and attendees will get the opportunity to hear from experts, ask questions, become more informed and learn about the various support systems available within the community.

Offaly County Council said that “awareness is the first step and support can change everything. Let's start the conversation and help build a more informed, supportive community.”
