What We Do
We discuss together your needs and concerns and provide options to help you with your mental health difficulty. We offer guidance on recovery planning and support that can help you identify how mental health difficulties are affecting your personal goals and challenges. All our supports will help you move forward with your mental health.
Sharing experiences with others can be a great way of learning new coping skills and growing your support network. Our group facilitators have personal experience of moving forward from their own mental health difficulties.
It can be helpful to talk to other people with similar experiences and to learn new ways of coping. Our group facilitators have experience helping a family member or friend with a mental health difficulty.
We offer education and training programmes to empower people experiencing mental health difficulties, and those who support them, to manage their own recovery. Shine staff, people with lived experience and family members supporting people with lived experience of mental health difficulties design and produce our recovery focused education programmes together.
We also offer wellbeing workshops to help you manage dealing with life’s challenges.
The Shine Media Programme works nationally to improve the standards and representation of mental health reporting in Irish media through training, media monitoring, policy and awards.
Shine's Green Ribbon campaign is our national programme dedicated to ending the stigma around mental health. We want to change public attitudes and behaviours for the better, fostering greater understanding and support for people experiencing mental health difficulties.
Our six step Workplace Programme helps companies create an open culture around mental health and play a role in challenging mental health stigma.
We are committed to getting the voice of people with lived experience heard and at the centre of education, policy making, service planning and research. We know that by doing this we can increase recovery rates and reduce risk of loss to suicide. We do this in a variety of ways to ensure people can participate at the level that suits them.
