NI couple supporting young people with mental health issues after talking teen out of suicide

A Co Armagh couple have set up a new charity to help young people suffering from mental health issues after coming to the aid of a teenage boy on a bridge and talking him out of suicide.

Conor Hegarty and his wife Amy from Craigavon created ‘Just a Chat’ earlier this year in a bid to help raise awareness of and combat the stigma around mental illness.

Focused on helping young people aged from 11-18, the couple have also been working with local sports groups and schools over recent months.
