Co Tyrone mum who set up suicide prevention charity says need never greater

A Co Tyrone mum who set up a suicide prevention charity following the death of her daughter 18 years ago says the need for its services has never been greater in the local area.

Catherine McBennett set up the Niamh Louise Foundation in 2005 following the death of her daughter Niamh by suicide at the age of 15. The charity provides support to those affected by suicide in the local area and beyond.

Catherine says over 200 people have now been coming through the doors of its Dungannon centre every month.
