As this is an event that benefits the whole community, we rely on the good will of organisations and qualified individuals to deliver events that are free to the public.

The Chair of the Steering Committee and Resource Officer for Suicide Prevention in Kerry, Donagh Hennebry, said: “We are very excited to make this year’s Fest the biggest and best so far. To do this we need you! We are looking for organisations, sports clubs, businesses, professionals, and members of our community to host events for free within their areas. The call for event organisers for the 2022 Kerry Mental Health and Wellbeing Fest is now open until Friday 5th August, so if you’re ready to upload your events feel free to log on and register the details on our new website.”

The Steering Committee will hold a free online information session about the Fest on Wednesday, July 27 from 10:30am – 11:00am covering:

• A brief overview of the Fest & previous events;
• The benefits of being an event organiser
• Past event organisers
• A demonstration of how to use the new site
