August 2024

As we move through August 2024, we want to take a moment to reflect on our journey with the embedded mental health first aid programme. While no courses took place this month, it has provided us with an opportunity to assess our progress and prepare for the exciting developments that lie ahead.

August is often a time for rest and rejuvenation, and we hope that all our facilitators and participants have had the chance to recharge and reflect on the importance of mental health awareness. This pause allows us to regroup and prepare for the upcoming months, ensuring that we continue to foster a supportive environment within the Garda community.

Looking ahead, we are excited to resume our courses and welcome new participants in the coming months. The momentum we have built over the past several months has been remarkable, and we are eager to continue expanding our network of certified mental health first aiders.

At the Garda National Wellbeing Office, we appreciate the commitment and dedication shown by all involved in this initiative. Your efforts are vital in promoting mental health awareness and ensuring that our colleagues have access to the support they need.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to this essential programme. We look forward to resuming our training and continuing our important work together.
