Community Events
The 12th Step of the 12 Steps of Growth and Recovery
- We carried Grow’s message to others in need.
In order to carry out Grow’s message to others in need we are continually out and about in the Community spreading the word. We are regularly organising information stands and raising awareness events. We might even be at your local library or festival answering questions about our Grow Program of Growth and Recovery or telling our stories on the local radio or TV station. We often host Grow Mental Health open evenings and musical nights out which are open to anyone who wants to join.
During World Mental Health Month, we participate in many events throughout the county with the hope of raising awareness that your support network is waiting for you – together we will support one another. You are not alone.
In addition to our regular Mental Health Talks, we run Stress Management Seminars and Workplace Wellness Programs. At Grow, our commitment to mental health recovery and wellness doesn’t stop at our weekly meetings.
If you are hosting an event and think a Grow Mental Health information stand or speaker would fit, contact us at [email protected] We would welcome any opportunity to get closer to our vision of an Ireland where no one needs to navigate mental health challenges or life’s struggles alone.
