The Man Hug - Ep029 - Bereavement Special Guests Joe & Agnes Williams / Andrew Okell (Paul's Place)
On this episode we focus on the theme of Bereavement. In 2015 Joe and Agnes used the Beacon Counselling Trust as service users, following the tragic loss of their son, Paul, to suicide. In 2017 they co-founded Paul’s Place Suicide Bereavement Support Service with Kathy Devlin. At this time, they also became volunteers within the charity. This primarily involved organising fundraising events, promoting the Paul’s Place service to external agencies, and co-hosting weekly peer support groups. They join us to talk about Paul and their own story.
We are also joined by Andrew Okell of Paul's Place, who tells us all about the work they do and how you can get involved.
Our very own Conleth joined the Liverpool John Mitchel's GAA for a mental health awareness walk in which he interviewed fellow walkers about the event.
