‘Wellness Bus’ in drive to boost mental health

In the first of its type in the country, a mobile unit is on the roads of West Cork helping to promote good mental health.

The Cumasú, or the “Wellness Bus” as it is known, was launched yesterday by Kathleen Lynch, minister of state responsible for mental health.

Its first outings were to Kealkil village and Dunmanway, but it is envisaged the bus will visit many locations in the region in the coming weeks and months ahead.
