HSE and supported through public donations.
Mental Health Ireland is a values-driven, person-centred organisation
acting at both national and local levels. We are the national driver
of mental health promotion and recovery awareness and education. We
achieve this through evidence-based information provision, resources,
campaigns, training, events, bursaries and our support of Recovery
Education Services. We are led by the values of recovery, hope,
empowerment and self-determination. We ensure that lived experience is
a central informant of our work. We believe that everyone has the
right to access the supports of our choosing when and where we need
them and the right to be supported in recovery to live healthy and
meaningful lives.
THIS PARTNERSHIP:
HSE Connecting for Life Cavan Monaghan has established an inter-agency
working group that seeks to improve access to information and support
for people who may be at risk of mental health difficulties including
self-harm and suicide. The inter-agency group has identified the need
for an online presence in order to support a more co-ordinated and
streamlined approach to promoting messages and content related to
positive mental health and suicide prevention for a range of target
audiences across the two Counties.
This stems from a concern that people are not aware of supports
available or are not accessing relevant supports, and an underlying
assumption that current methods of communication are not sufficiently
effective.
This project seeks to improve access to information and support for
people who may be at risk of mental health difficulties including
self-harm and suicide. It seeks to create a culture of help-seeking,
prioritising mental and physical wellness and to reduce the stigma
associated with speaking about mental health challenges and with
reaching out for help at times of mental distress.
The post holder will be responsible for the website upkeep and social
media presence for a local Wellbeing Platform (CAVAN MONAGHAN
CONNECTS) that will be supported by all agencies involved in the
existing partnership in order to:
* Promote safe, timely and evidence-based messages and mental health
supports; and
* Reinforce and embed national mental health campaigns at local
level.
The website will include a range of key sections containing important
information on:
* Directory of services
* Training opportunities
* News and events
* Resources section
The online presence will include social media platforms such as
Facebook, Tik Tok, LinkedIn, Instagram and X and will be setup,
managed and maintained in a safe and coordinated manner.
THE EXPECTED IMPACT AND OUTCOMES FROM THE INITIATIVE INCLUDE:
* Improved access to messages of support and services to help reach
target groups and individuals.
* More effective and co-ordinated provision of health care messages
and signposting of supports.
* Improved engagement with digital platforms by service users,
including hard to reach individuals and communities.
* Improvements in help seeking behaviours – enhanced access to
information on supports/services available.
* Reduction in stigma surrounding mental health, including
conversations about mental health challenges and seeking help for
mental health difficulties.
* Improvements in health outcomes for people living in Cavan and
Monaghan.
Working closely with the Cavan Monaghan Connects Working Group, the
Communications Coordinator will take a lead on developing, building
and sustaining its digital presence, including its website and all
social media management. They will work closely with members of the
Working group to support the communication and sharing of info on
mental health campaigns plus other local events, initiatives services
etc. This is critical to the success of Cavan Monaghan Connects and
the achievement of our aims across Cavan and Monaghan.
