Mental illness remains the ‘elephant in the room’, whether at home, work or school. It’s an issue that we are aware of but choose to avoid talking about. Here at Action Mental Health we want to take the elephant out the room, encouraging people to discuss their mental health, this Christmas.
Today is #GivingTuesday – a global campaign to encourage giving on the second Tuesday in December. But you don’t have to give money, you could give your time, your goodwill, or you could give us a tweet…
Today we launch our anti-stigma campaign with our very own AMH elephant touring iconic places in Belfast to raise awareness and get people talking.
When you share our elephant using the hashtag #ElephantInTheRoom you will show you care about the wellness of others and demonstrate that you are a safe place to talk about mental illness without fear of being judged.
Our elephant also needs a name! Tweet us your suggestions to @amhNI and we will pick a winner.
If you would like to donate your money as well as your time this #GivingTuesday you can do so securely online at www.justgiving.com/actionmentalhealth

Many Congratulations to our Men’s Shed, Steeple Antrim who won the Community Champion award from the South Antrim Community network.
The play ‘Everything Goes…’ was performed yesterday morning in the recently refurbished training area of AMH New Horizons in Downpatrick. Clients have been working collaboratively over the past few months to create 6 original, short scenes which explored issues from unemployment right through to couples who find themselves ‘stuck in a rut’. 
Today, family friends and supporters of Action Mental Health gathered in Portadown
Congratulations to Michael Coyle from AMH New Horizons Foyle who recently competed in two rounds of the Martial Arts Championship in which he won two silver medals!
