Twelve deaf Antrim and Newtownabbey residents are to be given an opportunity to attend a specialist mental health workshop after funding was approved by the borough council.

Councillors agreed at a meeting of the Community Planning Committee earlier this week to fund the workshop which will take place at Corrymeela in Ballycastle in January.

The aim of the workshop is to “create a safe environment where participants can explore past experiences and trauma, learn to self-regulate and manage anxiety, depression and stress”. They will also be advised of further counselling support.
