Tackling Stigma Discussion Group

Hi John Kelly here. On Wednesday 16th of February there will be a group discussion about tackling mental health stigma.

This is due to take place in Mount Drummond at 1 pm.

Personally speaking, I’ve found that one of the best ways to tackle stigma is to just talk about it.

Numbers are filling up for this, but places are still available for what is sure to be an energetic and insightful meeting.

If interested please talk to John at the drop in, otherwise you can contact me on jwpkelly@hotmail.com or call on 01 4965558

There’s something about Gateway

Gateway is presently putting together a report which outlines the benefits of the Gateway project which will be available on the blog. It is intended to send this report out to Politicians, possible funders and other interested parties such as those in the community sector and human rights groups. Included in this report is a section which focuses on personal testimonies.

Hard copies of this are yet to be finished document and will be available in the Gateway drop in between now and Monday, February 14th. Members are welcome to read it and if anybody would like to make further contributions or suggestions contact John at jwpkelly@hotmail.com or talk to him in drop in.
