Turn2Me offering free online migrant support

/in /by

Turn2Me’s online offer includes a weekly Migrant Support Group every Friday at 7pm, alongside access to six free counselling sessions for people registering with the code “IPAS”.

Turn2Me are currently offering free, trauma-informed online counselling and weekly support groups for migrants. This national online support may be helpful for people in Cavan and Monaghan who want to access support from home.

The Migrant Support Group takes place every Friday at 7pm. The group runs in a private online chat where people can type at their own pace, and it is led by a trauma-informed counsellor in a safe and confidential setting. Turn2Me’s support groups page also describes its groups as facilitated online discussions with peers in a safe space.

People looking for one-to-one support can also access six free consecutive counselling sessions online. To get started, create a free account on the Turn2Me website, go to the counselling section, and enter IPAS in the reference code section when registering.

Turn2Me’s one-to-one counselling page says its counsellors are qualified professionals and that six-session support is available online through a secure service. Their wider platform also offers moderated support groups and other mental health information online.

Buzzing to be Back!

/in /by

Carlow Mental Health Association are back in action after a bit of a break over the summer! We wanted to start by acknowledging the ongoing support we receive from local businesses.

Pictured are Anne Hutton from The Bee Hut, Brain Dooley from Scragg’s Alley, and Liam Kelly from The Bee Hut presenting a donation to Lynette Madlay from CMHA

Following their recent involvement in Carlow Fringe Festival, Brian with his staff and the patrons of Scragg’s Alley kindly made a donation to Carlow Mental Health Association. Part of this donation came from the wonderful people in the Bee Hut, who gave a portion of sales of their honey during a promotion during the Fringe event.

All donations this year will go towards supporting our Mensana programme, which will focus on young people and their parents, carers and teachers, and how we can all be involved in supporting their mental wellbeing. Check out our website and social media over the coming days to see updates and save the dates from October 5th to 10th for our Mensana programme.
