In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Government Action Plan acknowledged the importance of people maintaining their wellbeing and resilience to help see them through this unprecedented and unique challenge.
The Department of Health and the HSE, in collaboration with key cross-government and cross-sectoral partners, have developed this mental wellbeing campaign where you will find lots of advice and tips on how you can look after your mental wellbeing, stay active and stay connected.
In This Together draws together a huge range of activities that you can pursue in your home or your locality, by yourself or with family members, or with friends online. There are ideas and activities for people of all ages.
The campaign provides tips and advice from cross-government and Healthy Ireland partners on topics such as physical activity, parenting, coping with daily routines, supporting the ‘cocooned’ and getting involved in the community solidarity efforts.
This campaign is about uniting all of us, bringing us together in the name of wellbeing to support everybody.
The campaign emphasises the importance of collective support and staying connected to others, and while all of us are experiencing different concerns, it highlights:
“no matter what you’re going through, let’s stay connected and make it through, together."
It is a one-stop shop site that is sign posting people to links across all the government departments and relevant agencies who have an offering in this wellbeing space.
This website gives people advice, information and support under 8 headings:
The Department of Health with the HSE, in association with other government and key partners, including: Department of Children and Youth Affairs, Department of Education and Skills, Department of Rural and Community Development, Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and their agencies, have come together to share and promote advice and resources to help support and protect people’s wellbeing at this time.
