Developing Healthy Communities is delighted to support a new inter-agency social media campaign to promote positive mental health and wellbeing in Northern Ireland.

The campaign, led by a coalition of the Public Health Agency (PHA), five Health and Social Care (HSC) Trusts and Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS), runs for 5 weeks, from World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10) to World Mental Health Day (October 10).

Each week focuses on looking after the mental and emotional wellbeing of self and others through the Take 5 Steps to Wellbeing programme - Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning and Give - and the range of resources and support available.

Each Monday a new video is being released introducing the Take 5 Step of focus for that week. Throughout each week, there will be additional social media posts promoting the Take 5 message of the week and linking to resources and support available. The campaign landing page is on the Minding Your Head website: it will be be updated each week with key information and resources.
