Awareness of connection to be highlighted during month

Mental Health Month takes place throughout October and October 10 marked World Mental Health Day.

World Mental Health Day provides the opportunity to raise awareness about global mental health issues and creates the opportunity for people to call for action and advocate for change in mental health.

Throughout the whole of October, we are making mental health and wellbeing a national priority with a programme of events, activities and workshops that celebrate and raise awareness of the importance of Connection. Together, we can ensure that everyone across the country is involved in creating a culture that supports mental health and wellbeing.

For Mental Health Month 2024, our theme is Connect. Throughout the month, we’ll explore different ways to build and strengthen meaningful connections on our social media channels. with each week focusing on a different pillar: Yourself, Others, Community and Nature.

You can find links to our social media channels and more information and resources on each week’s theme on our website www.mentalhealthireland.ie
