"Minding Your Head"

In March 2007 the Health Promotion Agency launched a mental health public information campaign. The overall aim of the campaign is to increase public awareness of mental health, encourage positive attitudes towards mental health and challenge stigma associated with mental ill health.

As part of the campaign a website was established www.mindingyourhead.info to provide information on how to look after your mental health and highlight a range of issues that have the potential to impact on mental health.

A directory of services is also included on the site with contact details of organisations that provide help and support to individuals concerned about their own or others mental health.
The website also contains information for anyone concerned about suicide including details of 24 hour helplines.
The website has separate sections devoted to young people, adults, older people and professionals.

If you have any questions or comments on our website, please contact webmaster
