‘Together at the Castle’ Mallow Free Event September 11th

 ‘Together at the Castle’

 

The event is a collaboration between Cork Kerry Community Healthcare, Mallow Chamber of Commerce, Cork County Council and See Change initiative.

 

Together at the Castle will include a diverse range of entertainment, recreational activities, workshops and informational spaces, which will be provided by local community groups and other organisations.

We welcome everyone to come along and support this FREE EVENT on Sunday September 11^th between 1pm and 5pm.

 

The event will promote a sense of community and highlight the importance of the local services providing support for mental health and wellbeing.

 

Martin Ryan, HSE Resource Officer for Suicide Prevention with Cork Kerry Community Healthcare said:

“We are delighted to collaborate with Mallow Chamber of Commerce and Cork County Council to bring this event to the community. Over the last number of months, we have worked collectively to make sure this event offers a practical and positive approach to mental health and wellbeing in your local community. With up to 50 services expected to attend, there will be something useful for everybody to get engaged, or to understand where to seek help. We really want to promote the concepts of hope and recovery within our own communities and to remind people that there are huge benefits to our overall wellbeing by keeping physically and mentally healthy – with many supports available to help us to do just that.”

 

Martin added:

“It’s important that everyone is aware of the supports available to them in their community, and I would encourage everyone to seek out local events, programmes, trainings, sports clubs and youth services available to you. In my role, I’m very much aware that when I meet with groups or individuals, often they want to know what supports are available in their local area. Therefore, it is really important that we can signpost people to relevant services, matching the right service with their needs.

 

The event is being run to coincide with See Change’s national annual mental health awareness campaign, the Green Ribbon campaign, which runs throughout the full month of September. See Change Ireland’s programme dedicated to ending mental health stigma and discrimination, will be celebrating 10 years of the Green Ribbon campaign this year.
