Have You Decided on How You Will Join us in saying Hello?

Hello, How Are You? is a campaign about connection and meaningful conversations surrounding mental health. Mental Health Ireland invites individuals, communities, workplaces, friends, and families to join in saying 'Hello' and asking 'How Are You?' in a genuine and meaningful way.

Last year, the campaign resonated deeply, with over 278 events in 26 counties and an estimated attendance of 33.5 thousand people. Together, we trained over 113 individuals and distributed approximately 228,000 conversation cards, which helped individuals starting opening conversations about mental health. We were particularly delighted by the overwhelming response at train station events, and we had 4,388 views on social media.

Here's how you can be part of the Hello, How Are You? day:
