Positive Mental Health Day 10th of October
The 10th of October is Positive Mental Health Day: Free Programmes for All
We are delighted to announce that we were able to gather amazing organisations to join us in making a mark on International Mental Health Day on the tenth of October! Together with Children's Mental Wellbeing, Nicola Hayes, Combat Academy Portlaoise and Children's Books Ireland, we created a broad range of activities which positively impact mental health.
It is vital to plant a seed of caring for mental health from an early age, which is why our project is designed for primary & secondary schools in order to reach children and teens. The project aims to promote simple ways to improve well-being, experience relief in difficult situations, and have access to support during periods of anxiety. Our agenda for the day includes School activities in the morning followed by a Teacher's talk, plus an evening segment for parents, grandparents, adults, and everyone over 18 years of age. Children and young people can already accomplish a lot, but if they have additional support from their parents and teachers, solutions can be implemented regularly which will benefit them in adulthood, developing resilience and self-awareness.
We hope we will be able to be apart of this initiative for years to come!
