Striking the right note
A Think Big mental health poster inspired 17-year-old Ethan Lawlor to start a ‘happiness campaign’ that culminates this weekend with a gig at the Connolly’s of Leap pub. Cork band Fred headline in a pub famous for its posters of musicians, part of the late proprietor Paddy McNicholl’s collection of memorabilia.
Ethan saw the Think Big poster at Schull community college. A joint initiative set up by O2 and Headstrong (the National Centre for Youth Mental Health), Think Big funds young people (14-25) to undertake projects that positively impact on the mental health of their peers. Some 160 projects have been approved nationwide to date.
