Singer helps launch documentary on Travellers’ mental health awareness

Singer Kelly Mongan recalled Ireland’s suicide rate among Travellers when she helped launch a DVD aimed at heightening awareness of mental health within her community.

The 19-year-old, runner-up in The Voice TV programme, travelled from her home in Fermoy, Co Cork, to Sligo to help the Bishop of Elphin Dr Christopher Jones launch the DVD, The Journey of Mental Health.

It was developed by Sligo Traveller Support Group and the HSE.
