This year’s #KerryMHWFest will run from Saturday 5th to Saturday 12th October and is held annually to highlight World Mental Health Day on 10th October.
The Kerry Mental Health and Wellbeing Fest aims to raise awareness of the available supports and services in the county as well as empower people to engage with the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’ – Connect | Be Active | Take Notice | Keep Learning | Give – by offering a dynamic and interactive programme of free events.

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.”
