Meet the man who is spreading mental health awareness each day until Christmas at a Newtownabbey roundabout.
He wants to let people know it's okay not to be okay, and that it's important to open up and have those discussions about mental health."When other people started to open up and talk, I found it easier to speak out and deal with it. I've always had it in my mind I'd like to do something like to spark a conversation.
"I thought with it being Christmas that would be the perfect time to do it, I would do it as a mental health advent calendar. I've been there from December 1 and will be there until Christmas Eve holding the sign. "People have been beeping their horns, giving me thumbs up. A lot of people have been stopping by and giving me coffees and sausage rolls," he added.
For Peter, building up the courage to go out and stand at the roundabout each morning is a challenge in itself, but something he does as it's a message he truly believes in.
