A Co Down man has said surviving two suicide attempts allowed him to reach out and help others avoid the darkest moments.
Paddy Cordell twice tried to take his own life at the age of 18, but has spent years advocating for and teaching good mental health practices to those in the Kilkeel community and further afield.
Now 35, Paddy said at one stage in his life, "it was just fighting every day to keep the suicide thoughts out of my head".
