About us

At Mental Health Ireland, our aim is to promote and enhance mental health, wellbeing and recovery for all individuals and communities. We aim to support people with lived experience of mental health challenges and their supporters and family members in their recovery. 

Mental Health Ireland is a values-driven, person-centred organisation acting at both national and local levels. We are the national driver of mental health promotion and recovery awareness and education. We achieve this through evidence-based information provision, resources, campaigns, training, events, bursaries, and our support of Recovery Education Services. We are led by the values of recovery, hope, empowerment, and self-determination. We ensure that lived experience is a central informant of our work. We believe that everyone has the right to access the supports of our choosing when and where we need them and the right to be supported in recovery to live healthy and meaningful lives.

We have Development Officers across the country who link with the network of Mental Health Associations, volunteers and community groups, promoting mental health and supporting recovery in their communities.

Our work couldn’t happen without the close relationships we have with members of the coproduction groups we work with who come from all across communities, the voluntary sector and mental health services.

We will continue to strive to create a culture where we are all respected and supported, especially when our mental health is challenged.
