Kyrie Farm and Her Heart Matters

Kyrie Farm is a proposed mental health recovery centre which will build a community on site allowing people to heal and integrate into a society away from a clinical setting. It's a concept which has worked well in the US and there is a similar farm in Cork. Clare spoke with John McKeon – founder, director and board member, Dr Eoin Galavan – Clinical Psychologist for HSE North Dublin & Director on board and Martin Rogan – CEO of Mental Health Ireland. Did you know that Irish women are 5 times more likely to die from heart related issues than breast cancer and so the 'Her Heart Matters' Campaign aims to encourage women to make vital, sustainable changes to their health. Clare spoke with JT Treanor, Health Promotion and Information Training Team at Irish Heart Foundation
