Free Mental Health & Wellbeing Workshops

Ballyhoura Development is working with Mid-West ARIES (Advancing Recovery in Ireland Education Service) to deliver a range of courses on recovery and well-being in Mental Health in the Ballyhoura area this Autumn.

ARIES courses have been created and are delivered by people with lived experience, family members and staff working within the services.

To promote education as a tool in mental health recovery.
To make this programme available in Limerick, Clare and North Tipperary.
To promote a culture of inclusivity, mutual respect and learning among all: service providers, service users, family members, friends, carers and anyone with an interest in mental health and well-being.
