Health and Wellbeing
Scotstown GAA continues this year with its Healthy Club project which aims to help GAA clubs explore how they support the holistic health of their members and the communities they serve.
During the winter months we renewed the Make a Ceili initiative which was launched before Christmas. Earlier in January / February saw the start of the Operation Transformation walk, the Scotstown Ladies hosted a Women’s Health talk, a drugs and Alcohol awareness workshop with our coaches, and we had several card nights throughout the winter. During May we are having a Hello How are you? Campaign.
Hello, How Are You? On 15th May
Hello, How Are You? is a national campaign about connection and engaging in open conversations about mental health. The Mental Health Ireland HELLO, How Are You? campaign aims to tackle the lack of connection or belonging that people experience by inspiring individuals to ask how others are feeling. This opens up a conversation to allow people to listen and encourage action by signposting to local supports and services. Please see our Social Media platforms on how we will link into this campaign on May 15th. This initiative will be ongoing over the next 2 weeks.
