Pop-up radio station to trigger mental health focus

In a world that seems to be spinning faster by the day mental health is one of the most obvious casualties with one in four people experiencing mental health difficulties.

Ahead of World Mental Health Day on Saturday and coinciding with Mental Health Awareness Week, Ireland’s only all-digital pop-up radio station, Walk In My Shoes, is encouraging listeners to become involved in the debate around positive mental health.

Founded in 2012 Walk In My Shoes is the only pop-up radio station dedicated to promoting mental health in Ireland. The station has a fundraising target of €10,000 during its week on air which will fund free therapy sessions for 100 young people around Ireland.
