The HSE has developed a new advertising campaign to promote and encourage people aged over 18 to recognise common mental health difficulties and find information and supports on yourmentalhealth.ie. The campaign is informed by quantitative and qualitative research on public attitudes, beliefs and people’s awareness and knowledge of mental health. Based on these insights the campaign will work to improve people’s mental health literacy skills by enabling people to:
•recognise and manage their mental health
•support others when they need help
•identify and respond to difficulties at the earliest opportunity using self-help and social support
•be aware of when to refer themselves or someone else to a health professional to address more serious mental health difficulties.
