World Mental Health Day

According to the World Health Organisation, up to one in four people will experience a mental health problem at some point in their lives.  With that in mind, the HSE - to mark World Mental Health Day (Monday 10th October 2011) - is highlighting the importance of seeking help when times are tough, and listening to people who need support, through its ‘Your Mental Health’ campaign.  People throughout Ireland are encouraged to visit www.yourmentalhealth.ie  This website helps visitors to learn about their own mental health and how to look after it.  It also provides a wide range of information on mental health topics, and shows how and when to access help and support services.  In addition to the website, the campaign includes TV, radio and online advertisements which raise awareness of the need to look after your mental health.  There are many events taking place around the country to mark this occasion.  Visit www.seechange.ie for more details.
