AWARE is the depression charity for Northern Ireland. We deliver 24 mental health support groups across the country in physical locations and online settings. These meetings provide a supportive space for individuals facing mental health challenges including depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. Led by trained volunteers with lived experience, the groups provide a safe space to share experiences and foster solidarity within the community. With a compassionate approach, the groups promote resilience and well-being among its members, serving as a beacon of hope in difficult times. AWARE also provides a range of training programmes delivered in workplaces, community settings and schools that aim to build resilience and equip people with appropriate skills to manage their mental health. Other services include email and telephone assistance, outreach activities and awareness campaigns.
