As announced previously, the Camogie Association will be running a number of mental health initiatives during the month of October (to coincide with National Mental Health Week – October 7th -13th). As well as the previously announced Bodywhys information sessions, we are running some session with Samaritans.
Samaritans are available 24/7 every day of the year offering a safe supportive space for anyone to talk about what is getting to them. They offer talks to clubs and associations to raise awareness of their service and encourage people to talk to them.
Samaritans also offer training in simple and effective tools and techniques to equip people with the skills and confidence they need to handle emotional situations effectively.
