'We need to talk more,' Drogheda school launches mental health project to tackle male suicide

An innovative project entitled In His Shoes has launched at an all-boy's school in Drogheda, County Louth. The project is the idea of teacher and Transition Year Coordinator in St Mary's Diocesan School, Roisin Curtis, in partnership with SOSAD (Save Our Sons and Daughters), an Irish mental health charity.
