Solstice Wellbeing Day 20th June.

The summer solstice takes place on Monday 20th June and this year Mental Health Ireland will be celebrating our Solstice Wellbeing Day in the grounds of Dublin City University (DCU). The solstice is a time of reflection and renewal and at Mental Health Ireland we want to celebrate this time by making our own Solstice Intentions for the year ahead.

The national event will take place at The Labyrinth in DCU at 7pm. Sr Stan from The Sanctuary will read a passage to open the ceremony and we will have some live music on site too. The Labyrinth Meditation will take place at 7.20pm guided by Louise McDermott from DCU. We will be giving Solstice Intention cards out at the event which people can fill in their own time.

All are welcome to attend and please check in with your local MHA : click HERE to find out more, as many of our members are organising their own ceremonies in communities throughout Ireland.

Some more information is available from Mental Health Ireland's Website too.

See Change Green Ribbon At Gateway

Howdy all!

This year's Green Ribbon Campaign is well underway...have you got yours yet???

A message from See Change...

Let’s get talking about mental health this May. Support the Green Ribbon campaign.

See Change, the National Stigma Reduction Partnership has launched the fourth annual Green Ribbon Campaign, to promote open discussion of mental health during May 2016.

Throughout May, hundreds of local and national events will take place as part of the Green Ribbon national calendar.  This social movement to encourage a national conversation about mental health is led by 90 partner organisations, hundreds of volunteers and an unprecedented 70 campaign ambassadors with real-life experience of mental health problems ready to share their own stories to help others and end stigma.

Pick up your Green Ribbon at one of the various community events on the national Green Ribbon calendar and at major Irish Rail stations nationwide.

Take part in National Time to Talk Day on Friday May 20th by simply making the time and space for a conversation about mental health with family, friends and colleagues. Join the conversation online at #TimetoTalk

Here’s our top tip for starting that conversation: You don’t have to be an expert to start talking about mental health or have all the answers. Sometimes the most helpful thing you can do is to let someone know that you are there for them and simply listen.

We often hear that we need to talk more about mental health and the simple and free Green Ribbon provides a practical way of turning that into action. The 500,000 people who will be wearing Green Ribbons this May will not only be showing their support for the campaign but also leaving the door open for conversation. For someone who might be going through a tough time, just knowing that they don’t have to avoid the subject with you can make all the difference.

Are you ready to start your conversation?  http://www.greenribbon.ie/start-the-conversation
