YMCA Dublin will join YMCAs across Ireland to support and encourage positive mental health this Mental Health Awareness Week as part of the nationwide Small Talks campaign, from 13th – 19th May 2024.

We know that having positive conversations about mental health can make a big difference to people’s lives and here at YMCA Dublin, we will be using the opportunity to host activities to raise awareness and engage with each other on this topic.

“Here at YMCA Dublin, we recognise that the mental health challenges faced by our communities are a shared concern nationwide and are proud to be collaborating with YMCAs across Ireland for the ‘Small Talks’ campaign, signifying a collective commitment to addressing these issues. Through local initiatives, we are creating spaces for vital conversations amongst our team and wider community. We hope that together, we can make a big difference, one small talk at a time.” – Russell Wilbourne, YMCA Dublin Childcare Manager
