Clare County Council Staff and public representatives are to be offered training to help them deal with people who are in severe mental distress.
Councillors have given cross-party support to the Safe Talk Workshop to take place – it will be by the National Office for Suicide Prevention and aims to give people the confidence to ask if a person is OK or if they're at risk of suicide.

Ennis Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard is behind the initiative and has undergone the training previously.
She says it has helped her support other people.
