“Never be a prisoner to the fears and thoughts of the mind and while life is tough, never be afraid to reach out for help of any kind or for any reason.” That’s the advice of a Wexford farmer who made three attempts to take his own life and who is now striving to help others who are affected by mental health issues. “Suicide is not a singular action that affects only one person. It affects families and communities for a never-ending length of time. It’s better to be judged by 12 rather than carried in a coffin by six,” said beef farmer Mattie White.
