Dublin coffee shop actively encouraging mental well-being through customer chats

Five6Max have been doing more than providing coffee to consumers...

Small business Five6Max has been encouraging locals to talk, in a bid to keep their mental health in check.

Co-owner Stephen Flynn told Independent.ie: "When I was younger, I struggled a little bit with mental health. I went and talked to people, and it was a huge help to me.

"I want to incorporate that into our company...

"I think even a small chat during the day really helps people."

The business was started by three young men whose jobs were all affected by the pandemic, and has been met with open arms from locals.
