Dear GAA club,
Does your club have a trained Mental Health Peer-Supporter available if needed?
Our training in Mental Health Peer-Support creates a compassionate network within a club and a community. Our training transcends traditional boundaries, breaking down the stigma associated with mental health discussions. The benefits are profound and far-reaching. Trained peer-supporters are attuned to subtle shifts in their community’s well-being. This heightened awareness fosters a culture of genuine care and concern.
No funding is necessary to do our training. We offer it free to all club, association and community volunteers in a drive to encourage people to take on this vital role within their own club, and help bring Peer-Support to the heart of communities as a critical part of mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
