EXPRESSWAY coach service has partnered up with Grow Mental Health to raise awareness of mental health challenges with a photo exhibition with Stories of Recovery and Hope in Tralee bus station for two weeks.
The display started in October last year in Busáras, Dublin and moved to Waterford, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Letterkenny, Sligo, Drogheda and Dundalk Bus Station before moving to Tralee this week.
This partnership initiative is to promote positive mental health and raise vital funds for Grow Mental Health, the non-profit group.

Expressway is also supporting the Yellow Walk on Sunday, April 17 by asking the public to wear yellow and get out walking for just 30 minutes, to raise vital funds for mental health supports.
You can walk wherever it is you wish and if you are not available on Easter Sunday, you can walk on any day that is suitable for you.
Grow Mental Health, which was set up in 1969, has recorded a 400% year on year increase in demand for services since the pandemic began.
Delivering a national network of peer support groups to local communities through a tailored 12-Step program of Recovery and Growth, the group is delighted with the launch of this exhibition, documenting its members’ stories.
Proudly supported by Expressway, the initiative will be promoted right across the bus stations and through Expressway social media channels over the coming weeks, with the public asked to read the stories of recovery and hope and to donate to Grow Mental Health – these donations will help people who are struggling with their mental health.
