Reaching out for help can often be the hardest step, but one charity is hoping to make that first step a little easier.  

Ana Liffey, which provides low-threshold support for people affected by addiction, homelessness, mental health challenges and other social harms, has launched a new 'One First Step' campaign along with a freephone number to make its services more accessible.  

The organisation also has a strong presence across the Mid West, including here in County Clare, where its outreach teams support some of the county's most vulnerable people.

 

Joining Alan Morrissey earlier to tell us more was the CEO of Ana Liffey, Dawn Russell.
