Now, more than ever, there are a lot of challenges to mental health. The Covid-19 pandemic has created a great deal of additional stress and anxiety, and is affecting everyone, even those who have always been able to maintain reasonably good mental health. Depression, loneliness, stress, suicidal feelings are among the most intensely felt consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. But there is a lot of support out there, and much of it is free of charge.

MyMind Centre for Mental Wellbeing is currently providing free online counselling services to people who have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic whether it’s through bereavement, job loss, increased anxiety or depression. Support is provided by a team of qualified mental health professionals, and all sessions are held in strict confidence through MyMind’s own online platform.

Text50808 provides a safe space where, via text messaging, you’re listened to by a trained Crisis Volunteer with whom you can share at your own pace. You’ll text back and forth, only sharing what you feel comfortable with. By asking questions, listening to you and responding with support, they will help you sort through your feelings until you both feel you are now in a calm, safe place.

MyMind and 50808 have come together to provide this unique free webinar which will help you to find out more about each of the services, how to access them and what you can expect.

Date: Thu. April 22 2021 11:00 – 12:00 GMT
Please register here: Eventbrite tickets
There will be a Q&A session at the end of the presentation.
This is a free public event. Participants will need MS Teams to access this event.

The “Keep Well” campaign was launched on 29 October 2020, and aims to support people and communities to mind their physical and mental health over the coming months. As COVID-19 restrictions remain in place and Springtime is well and truly upon us, minding our physical and mental health continues to be a challenge for many of us.

The five key messages in the #KeepWell campaign are:

• Keeping active
• Staying connected
• Switching off and getting creative
• Eating well
• Minding your mood

The Irish Community action on Alcohol Network is delighted to announce our next webinar :

‘Why and How to Avoid Collaborating with the Alcohol Industry’

Thursday, April 29^th @ 10am

We have an excellent line up of speakers; Mark Petticrew, Professor in Public Health in the University of Liverpool who will provide an overview of the motives and tactics of the alcohol industry, and Susan Taylor from Balance UK who will talk about their experience in resisting and challenging the alcohol industry and its funded CSR activities in the North East of England.

Through our work in the Irish Community Action on Alcohol Network since 2017, we have supported communities and civil society to become actively engaged in preventing and reducing alcohol harm and we have actively advocated for evidence based public health measures to reduce the burden of alcohol harm on Irish society.  We recognise that many of our colleagues in the community, voluntary, education and charity sectors may be unaware of the growing body of evidence illustrating how the alcohol industry uses corporate social responsibility activities and funded ‘charities’ to influence policy and undermine public health. This webinar will provide insight and evidence but it also promises to be an opportunity to discuss how we might collectively address the issues here in Ireland.
