It was announced this week that two counselling services in Mayo will receive €210,000 between them from the Government. The Knock Counselling Service will get €120,000 and Family Life Services will receive €90,000 as part of an overall €8 million national grant allocated by Minister for Social and Family Affairs Éamon Ó Cuív.
The Knock Counselling Service offers therapeutic support to people who experience a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, low self esteem, bereavement issues, relationship issues, and issues associated with abuse or neglect.
