Soroptimists and partner organisations supporting Mental Health Ireland Hello How are You campaign

Soroptimists Mullingar and District support the Mental Health Ireland Campaign day ‘Hello How are You’ on May 1.

This week, to support the campaign, Soroptimists organised a presentation by Julia Smyth, Mullingar Mental Health Association, on the campaign.

Members from Meals on Wheels, TEAM, Mullingar Community Projects, LARCC, Tanzanian Heavenly Homes, Ben’s LifeLine, Team Hope Shoebox Appeal, St Vincent De Paul and An Garda Síochána joined the Soroptimists for the event.

They received information cards for sharing with their organisations to remind them to pause and take the time to reach out to someone who could at any time during the year benefit from hearing a friendly voice.
