About the day
Mental Health Ireland runs Mental Health Month across October. It includes events, webinars, training and activities in communities around the country.
World Mental Health Day falls on 10 October and sits inside the month. The 2025 campaign used the World Federation for Mental Health theme "Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change", as shown on the organiser's page.
Workplaces, schools and local groups can use the month to start conversations about mental health and to point people to free information and resources.
