West Belfast woman who lost siblings to suicide helps to launch 'Wall of Hope'

A Belfast mental health charity is inviting those who have lost loved ones to suicide to join them through a special remembrance wall.

The Wall of Hope outside West Wellbeing in the Colin community, has a sea of family photos and personal messages attached to it. Launching this week, on the lead up to World Suicide Prevention Day, those who have been plunged into grief through suicide, came together to spread a message of hope.

Johanna Skillen has recently become heavily involved with West Wellbeing, and is working towards becoming a full qualified counsellor. The West Belfast woman knows only too well the impact that mental health can have on a family, having lost both her sister Stacie and brother Danny to suicide.
