It's time to share wellness with our local communities! WW have partnered with Action Mental Health to help raise awareness of mental health issues in Northern Ireland, promote resilience and well-being to all and raise funds to ensure we can continue providing our vital work across the country.
1 in 5 people in Northern Ireland will show signs of a mental illness during their life. Thats over 250,000 people, that we know of. Sadly many still dont get the help that they need.
With the support of WW, we can take action on mental health in Northern Ireland.
Half of all mental health problems start before the age of 14 and 10% of 5-16 year olds have a diagnosable mental illness. Action Mental Health offers early intervention programmes within both primary and secondary schools to help provide our young people with the healthy coping mechanisms they need in their day to day lives.
These emotional resilience programmes are essential to build a more resilient youth, foster healthier work places for the future and create a more caring and nurturing environment for generations to come
your support matters! Our vision is a society which actively values and supports people on their journey towards positive mental health. With WW Coaches, members and our local community working by our side, this vision is possible.
Last year, our recovery and resilience services supported over 24,000 local people. Your fundraising and awareness raising will ensure we can be there for them, and many more, at a time when they need it most. Together, we really can make a difference. Thank you.
