Community mental health services are being encouraged to apply for new grant funding of up to €30,000.
Applications from small organisations across Kilkenny and Carlow are invited from today.
The aim is to fund one-off projects that are in-line with the government’s mental health strategies.
CEO of Mental Health Ireland, Martin Rogan, is encouraging groups to get in touch with their ideas:
“Just come to our website mentalhealthireland.ie and we have the detail there and we’ll work you through the process”
Mr Rogan also said the pandemic has had a significant impact on demands for mental health services.
