8: Looking Back and Moving Forward with Dr Tony Bates and Senator Lynn Ruane

Mental Health Ireland X Family Carers Ireland as part of the free partners webinar series during Mental Health Month 2025.

There’s so many different ways to ask Hello, How Are You? But what if we really asked, and really listened? On March 30th, we at Mental Health Ireland are inviting the nation to ask ‘How Are You?’ with meaning to celebrate the power of connection and encourage open conversations around mental health. National Lead for the Hello campaign Jo Donohoe sat down with PJ Gallagher - a man known for being a great talker – on stage, on screen and on our airwaves. Jo asked PJ about the meaningful conversations he’s been part of, what real connection looks like to him and how it’s made a difference in his life.

To celebrate National Walking Day on Sunday, 25th September, Mental Health Ireland has partnered with Dermot Whelan to produce a guided walking meditation. The broadcast star, meditation teacher and bestselling author of Mind Full will talk you through a mindful walk as a way to focus on both your mental and physical health. This can be completed while walking or as a visualisation exercise.

Support available for those suffering from an Eating Disorder and those caring for a loved one with an Eating Disorder.
