Communities set to ‘Feelgood’ for first festival of mental health

Communities throughout West Cork will celebrate the region’s first ever ‘Feelgood Festival’, a mix of sports, good food, music and companionship later this week.

This is the first year of the event which begins on Friday next and continues on Saturday, in conjunction with World Mental Health Day.

“The idea of the festival is two-fold,” said Kevin Shanahan, arts and health coordinator with the West Cork Mental Health Services.
