This year’s World Mental Health Day falls on Monday, October 10th. Mental Health Ireland (MHI) the largest voluntary organisation involved in mental health issues, will be marking the event with a number of initiatives happening around this date.

We will be running two national campaigns again this year for World Mental Health Week, the Building Resilience Together Project launched in 2010 and the National Choral Singing Week. MHI Development Officers will be linking in with local Mental Health Associations to assist with the planning and organisation of these campaigns to take place around World Mental Health Day.

We will be uploading a comprehensive list of activities, grouped by county, once we have the information available. Please check this site regularly.
