When is Limerick Mental Health Week?

World Mental Health Day takes place on October 10th, 2019.

This year the theme is “Suicide Prevention.” We will be working to promote the supports available and spreading awareness of what you can do to help yourself and those in the community. We run a range of informative, thought-provoking and fun events surrounding World Mental Health Day. These will be run across the city from Friday October 4th to Friday October 11th, 2019.

Last year, Shine a Light on the River was the biggest event in Limerick Mental Health Week history, we hope you will all join us to make this year even more special. . When Limerick people think of the river and three city bridges, often a negative association with mental health can come to mind. We want to bring the community together to reclaim the river, shine a light on it, and reframe it in people's minds. . #rivershannon #limerick #limerickcity #mentalhealth #suicideprevention
