IRD Duhallow Wellbeing and Recovery College

The story of the IRD Duhallow Wellbeing & Recovery College begins on September 18th. Since making our first public announcement we have been blown away by the level of interest. It’s clear that there is an appetite for something new in how we approach mental health in our community.

This month our modules will be Let’s Talk Wellbeing & Recovery. The module will be an opportunity for all of us to explore what wellbeing and recovery means to us, in our own words, and our own lives.

We will learn about the CHIME model and the insights that it can grant us. CHIME stands for Connection, Hope, Identity, Meaning and Empowerment. In the module we will learn about where this comes from and its application. We will also look at the parallel roads of “Personal” and “Clinical”. Both are vital to our overall wellbeing, and in recovery from mental health challenges.

Our module will begin at 10am on September 18th, here in the James O’Keefe Institute, Newmarket (Eircode P51 C5YF). We will have tea and coffee available before the module, and at our break. Anyone who cannot commit to the full time of 10am to 1pm are welcome to attend for as long as they can. There is no charge for attending any of our modules.

So whether it’s for yourself, for someone you support, or just to learn more, whatever your reason for attending you will be most welcome at the IRD Duhallow Wellbeing & Recovery College.
