AWARE Board Member, Helen McDonnell of Indigo Life Coaching is running a free 5-day Mindfulness Challenge!

There will be two drop-in mindfulness sessions per day which will be delivered via Zoom. The sessions will provide an introduction to Mindfulness and its benefits. They will also provide practical exercises to introduce into your daily routine to help you manage your mental health during this period of uncertainty and change.

You can attend as little or as many sessions as you wish. We'll be taking on the challenge and attending one session every day for five days, to introduce some positive change into our lives!

The sessions are free, with an optional donation to AWARE to support our work. To register, click here.

Join AWARE on Saturday 10th October 2020 and take on Slieve Donard to mark World Mental Health Day! Slieve Donard is the highest peak of the Mourne Mountains, a whopping 2789ft to be exact! The views from the summit are extraordinary and on a clear day, the Isle of Man, Wicklow, Donegal, Wales, and Scotland may be seen, as well as the long stretch of Newcastle Beach. The AWARE Slieve Donard Trek event is managed by LIFE mountain experts and guides who will be on hand to ensure this is a safe and enjoyable walk up Slieve Donard. Please remember to follow government guidelines on social distancing.

We’re delighted to be able to offer a range of Living Life to the Full programmes online starting Tuesday 6th October. 

About the Course:

The Living life to the Full programme will be delivered via zoom over 6 sessions lasting approx. 2hrs each. This is a programme that can make a big difference to your life. It can help you manage your feelings when you are stressed, worried or depressed and learn simple practical skills to help you cope with life’s challenges. It looks more closely at the ways in which mental health can be impacted by life events and unhelpful thinking styles which may also then affect our physical health and overall enjoyment of life.
