No 49 North Street

Here is the Spring weekly programme of events at 49 North St

This film centres on Skibbereen's pioneering Adult Mental Health service, 49 North Street which is an initiative of Cork Mental Health Services and the H.S.E. 49 North Street is a developing service which uses models of co-production and collaboration as its foundation. Reflecting on darker times the participants of ‘An Open Door’ discuss the importance of a service such as this. By providing a space which welcomes creative expression, and allows ideas and community to flourish, this film poses the question: ‘How can we continue to bridge the gap between the stigma often associated with ‘Mental Health’ and a more universally identifiable journey of ‘wellbeing’ ? We invite you to join the conversation. This film was funded by Cork and Kerry Community Healthcare Mental Health Services.
