The Public Health Agency (PHA) and Health and Social Care (HSC) organisations have launched this year’s HSC mental health and emotional wellbeing campaign urging people to prioritise workplace mental health.

Between World Suicide Prevention Day (10 September) and World Mental Health Day (10 October) the five local HSC Trusts, the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) and the PHA are encouraging people to take 10 minutes for mental health self-care using the ‘Take 5 steps to wellbeing’.

The ‘Take 5 steps to wellbeing’ are: Connect, Keep Learning, Be Active, Take Notice and Give.

 More information is available about the HSC mental health campaign, the work of the Health and Social Care Trusts, details of local services that provide mental health and wellbeing support and the ‘Take 5 steps to wellbeing’ at www.mindingyourhead.info/workplace-mental-health-2024

This will also be an opportunity to encourage everyone to learn more about mental health and suicide prevention by attending a training course. Details about the training available across Northern Ireland can be found at www.mindingyourhead.info/training
