Mental Health Trialogue Meetings begin in Ireland

 

An exciting initiative called the ‘Mental Health Trialogue Network Ireland’ is about to commence with ‘Mental Health Trialogue Meetings’ being held in seven locations around Ireland. This initiative has been funded by Genio Trialogue Meetings are regular, open discussion forums that people who may have different understandings of mental health and mental health problems come together to discuss mental health and community response to mental health problems in a ‘neutral terrain’ located outside any therapeutic, familial or institutional context.

 

If you are interested in understanding more about other people’s experiences and perceptions about mental health and associated challenges, and willing to engage with all as equals, then please come along to the Trialogue meetings where there is much honesty, laughter and potential for change.  Paddy McGowan, and/or Líam MacGabhan, from Dublin City University, will initially facilitate the Trialogue meetings. The schedule is as follows:
