PHA ‘Feeling Anxious?’ Campaign

Posted on by

A group of approximately 20 adults seated around tables in a bright community meeting room during a mental health awareness event. Several participants at the front of the room are holding green mental health awareness posters, while others sit around tables with information leaflets and refreshments. The room features pastel pink and blue walls, large windows, circular ceiling lights, and a mosaic artwork displayed along one wall. The photograph captures a collaborative group discussion and community engagement setting focused on promoting mental health awareness and wellbeing.Mental health and emotional wellbeing were high on the agenda for discussion at today’s Dungannon LPG Meeting, so it was only fitting that we took some time out to raise awareness of the Public Health Agency (PHA) and Health and Social Care Trusts’ current ‘Feeling Anxious?’ Mental Health Awareness Campaign.

Running from 10th September to 10th October 2026, the ‘Feeling Anxious? Campaign highlights practical ways we can look after our mental health and encourages people to recognise when they may be feeling anxious and to find out what support is available to them in their local area.

Our Dungannon LPG members were keen to support the campaign and help amplify this important campaign.

By talking openly about mental health and sharing information about support, we can all play a part in helping people feel more comfortable reaching out when they need it.

The approach provides practitioners with:

  • A robust understanding based on neuroscience of the importance of the first three years and how to support infants/children to have the best start in life.
  • A theoretical framework for practitioners to reframe how to approach their work with children and families.
