Watch: 'Reach Out' - Mental health awareness video documents the silent struggle of so many in our community

"I don't think there's ever a good time to be suffering from mental health issues"

With everything that's been happening in our little country, it becomes so easy to get caught up in what seems sometimes to be a constant stream of negativity.

During these crazy times, it's often to forget the silent struggles others go through every day.

Conor Hayes has created this video - 'Reach Out'.

Inspired by a recent conversation with a friend, the video documents what it's like suffering from mental health difficulties at a time like this.
