The cost of living crisis is having a particularly devastating impact on rural communities, a leading mental health expert in Co Fermanagh has said.
With fuel prices soaring to record highs and a lack of public transport infrastructure, people around the county often rely on their cars to get to work or get around. Some petrol stations are now charging more than £2 per litre for diesel.
According to the clinical lead at the Aisling Centre in Enniskillen , more and more people locally are citing worries about making ends meet due to rising costs and it’s having a big effect on their mental health.
