Drama to put teen suicide in the spotlight

A NEW play about suicide hopes to encourage teenagers to talk about the issue and promote positive mental health.

The hard-hitting Suicide Notes, by playwright Peadar Donohue, will be staged in Cork next week to coincide with World Mental Health Day on Wednesday.

It is part of a new approach by the Cork Mental Health Foundation (CMHF) to shatter the stigma around mental health issues and promote open dialogue.
