Young people are to be consulted by a new task force on mental health issues - to improve their well being.

The group is made up of representatives of youth groups, health experts and Facebook - and will be chaired by Junior Minister Helen McEntee.

Helen McEntee, pictured with Jim Breen, founder Cycle Against Suicide, will lead the task force.

The task force will first meet early next month.
