Open invitation to attend Horizons' AGM in Lisburn
Despite mental health being a major issue on the agenda of most political parties at the recent Assembly elections, Horizons has found it difficult to raise its profile in the Lisburn area.
Chairman David Edmont said: “Despite advice leaflets being available with local doctors, police and undertakers we still find that local people are being directed to Belfast, and further afield, for support following a suicide. It was always the intention of Horizons to help people through their grief by being in the company of others who had a similar experience.”
