Noreen Murphy Lisheens House founder recently attended a conference at UCC on Dual Diagnosis. At long last the powers that be are recognizing the fact that a large percentage of people presenting with a mental health issue also have an addiction issue and visa versa. Noreen is pictured Mary LMcDonald TD and Liadh Ni Riada MEP, who took time out of their busy schedules to organise and attend todays conference.
Between the key note speakers and the very personal stories from the floor, it was a very informative and worthwhile exercise and another step on the road to erasing the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction.
