UNSPOKEN COMMON SOCIETY ISSUES CSI offers a platform for mental health stories. Giving voice to the survivors who overcame symptoms and stigma associated with those issues. CSI aim to harness the use of social media to reach out to any person suffering. The prevailing stereotype is that there is ‘aggression’, ‘danger’ and ‘violence’. We intend to debunk these myths. Our team also aims to empower, encourage those suffering from mental illness by various processes and forms of help to ensure renewed wellbeing. It is apparent that mental health in Ireland has made headlines in recent years. On a global scale, about 450 million people suffer from mental illness, which equates to about 1 in 12 of the whole population. Locally in Ireland, it affects thousands and the help available is insufficient. This is why CSI undertook this task. To address needs and educate wherever possible.
