Mental Health Month

Mental Health Month takes place throughout October and October 10th marks World Mental Health Day. This is a special year for Mental Health Ireland as we celebrate our 60th Anniversary. Throughout the whole month, we make mental health and wellbeing a national priority with a programme of events, webinars, activities and workshops around the country.

Mental Health Month

There’s lots of ways to get involved with Mental health Month across Ireland this October and support our work.

This is a special year for Mental Health Ireland as we celebrate 60 years of educating, empowering and connecting communities. This October, you can support our work and raise awareness of mental health in lots of ways in your own community and workplace.

Taking Action 

This community-based programme helps people learn simple, practical tools to support their mental health and wellbeing. It offers useful ideas and easy-to-use strategies for anyone looking to improve their wellbeing or support their recovery from mental health challenges.
