Introduction

In April 2017 after the launch of Connecting for Life Mid West: Action Plan for Suicide Prevention 2017- 2020, HSE Health Promotion and Improvement invited a number of services who provide mental health promotion in the area, to work together to form a Mental Health Promotion working group in the Mid West.

 

Our purpose is

  • To co-ordinate a shared understanding of Mental Health Promotion

  • To meet the mental health promotion needs of people living and working in the Mid West while maximising limited resources

  • To fulfil the mental health promotion actions of the Connecting for Life Mid West: Action Plan for Suicide Prevention

  • To work in partnership to ensure consistency, quality (evidence based/ informed) and strong population reach in programme delivery

 

‘Connecting with Training’ was developed on the premise that protecting and promoting mental health is everyone’s responsibility and an integral part of who we are. Our mental health determines and influences every aspect of our lives, how we view ourselves, our relationships, how we work, live and play.

The content includes a variety of evidence based or evidence informed workshops and courses from a wide range of providers from statutory, community and voluntary sectors across Limerick, Clare and North Tipperary. The majority of the courses included are free or low cost.

All workshops and courses in the booklet are presented with a brief outline and information on the providers to help us either to book the workshop of your choice by clicking on the hyperlink provided or by calling the phone number and talking directly with the provider.

 

The Mental Health Promotion Subgroup is conscious of the need to keep training information up to date and we are committed to updating and refreshing the content regularly. If you are a provider of evidence-based mental health promotion programmes here in Limerick, Clare and North Tipperary and wish to submit a workshop for inclusion please see CfL MW Connecting with Training – Application Form (INSERT APP FORM LINK HERE)
