Webinar series

Winter Wellness: As the winter months approach, it’s easy for energy, mood, and motivation to dip, but with the right tools, we can stay well, connected, and productive. This webinar will provide practical strategies to support mental health and wellbeing, built around the evidence-based Five Ways to Wellbeing framework. This is a free public webinar that will be delivered weekly during October.

Partner Webinars: Each webinar will focus on a topic that can influence our specific mental health & wellbeing topic, hosted by Mental Health Ireland with expert panellists. Each discussion will include information about the topic, resources and supports available as well as opportunities to ask the experts questions. Information on dates & times will be available soon.
