Question: how is the study of public health acting to the people with their mental health

Frances Shiely answered on 13 Nov 2019:

Mental health is a part of public health and there are many great things occuring in that area. We have a deliberate self harm registry in Ireland now and we use that registry to monitor self-harm levels and predict who might likely need more help than others – those at greatest risk. There are many studies being conducted on suicide also. I think the public is more aware of mental health issues now and are not afraid to talk about it. it used to be a very stigmatised topic.
