On 15th November we had a visit from local woman Maureen Bolger who told us about Teenline. This is a help line similar to Childline and was born out of the tragic death of Maureen’s son Darren when he was sixteen.
Maureen told us Darren took his own life. She went on to tell us how her grief drove her to start Teenline so that young people would have someone to talk to and not go down the same road as her son. Parents are the last people most teenagers will open up to if they are in trouble. We wish her and her team well in this venture.
On a much lighter note we look forward to a talk on Indian cookery from Sisely at our next meeting on December 10th .
God bless you and yours this Christmas. – Gail Sheridan.
