Voyage of Recovery: Man credits sailing with helping him to navigate difficult times

A man who struggled with depression and addiction says that learning to sail helped him navigate through a dark and difficult time.

Colin Healy, a co-founder of the Sailing Into Wellness project, gave his message of hope last night ahead of the launch of Cork’s first Mental Health and Wellbeing Festival, which runs right through October to raise awareness of the supports and services that are available for people struggling with mental health issues.
