Anthony O’Prey, Health Promotion Officer for Mental Health Promotion (Midlands), will be hosting a series of online Mental Health Promotion & Wellbeing workshops using a platform called Zoom. The purpose of these workshops is to give people a place to check-in on how they are and a place to discuss ways to protect their mental health during this difficult time. Workshops will be discussion based and topics can include management of stress, worry & anxiety. Anthony will also facilitate a guided breathing/relaxation exercise. Workshops will last one hour and will run daily for members of the public living in Offaly, Laois, Longford & Westmeath. Participants must be over 18yrs old. Maximum places per workshop is 8. Workshops commence at 10 am starting Thursday 23rd April 2020.
