This was a
two-part study by a team from National University of Ireland
Galway led by Dr Margaret Barry and Ms Sharon Friel. It
examines a number of cross-border projects in the areas
of postnatal depression, public awareness of suicide, cancer
support services, the mental health of young men and mental
health in rural communities. The study also looks at the
comparability and compatibility of mental health data sources
in the two jurisdictions. Among the report’s recommendations
are:
- The establishment of an
all-island Mental Health Promotion Steering Group to
develop mental health promotion in a co-ordinated fashion
and avoid unnecessary duplication
- The creation of an all-island
information exchange mechanism and discussion forum
in this area, including a live database of mental health
promotion activities in the Republic to that already
produced in Northern Ireland
