Spokesperson for the Steering Committee, Caoimhe Keogan from Jigsaw Kerry, said: “We always strive to increase the programme offerings and prospective event organisers are invited to register events for this year’s #KerryMHWFest as soon as possible. The Fest has a wide reach across Kerry and we want to continue to build on its success in 2023. But we can’t do this without you! If you’d like to be part of a community initiative that has a positive impact on mental health and wellbeing, come join us to help create a healthier and happier Kerry.
“Prospective event organisers may wish to run workshops, seminars, outdoor walks, mindfulness classes, team-building events – once it has a mental health and wellbeing benefit, we’d like to hear from you.”
