A 20-page booklet, and series of accompanying videos, has been launched by the Galway City Council and the HSE Community Services in Galway, to support older people in minding their physical and mental health over the coming months.
The booklet, part of a new range of initiatives under the Keep Well campaign, provides a range of practical advice, guidelines, information, and tips focusing on the keeping active, staying connected, switching off, eating well, and 'minding your mood' by adding healthy and helpful habits to daily and weekly routines.
