Mental Health Ireland are delighted to announce our annual Art Competition is open for entries! The theme for this year is ‘Mental Health Begins with Me’. We would encourage all schools to get behind this exciting project with their students and to encourage them to explore what positive mental health means to them. The guidelines and entry form are attached. The overall winner will receive €250 and each provincial winner will receive €50. We wish all teachers and students the best of luck and hope you enjoy exploring what positive mental health means to you. You will see we have just launched our new logo. It is inspired by the ‘Eight Dimensions of Wellness’ which include the following dimensions: Emotional, Environmental, Financial, Intellectual, Occupational, Physical, Social and Spiritual. We will be launching our new website in the coming weeks which will be user friendly and above all full of useful information. Good Luck!
