Dance for mental health

Anyone who ever longed to relive their nights at the Ceili should keep the evening of Friday June 5 free. In aid of the Positive Mental Health Foundation, the Kilfenora Ceili Band will be play at the Menlo Park Hotel. All Proceeds go directly to the ‘Positive Mental Health Foundation’ which continues to bring a welcome message of mental/emotional support to second level schools in Galway city and county. On the service the chairperson of the foundation says, "Our volunteer facilitators engage the students in reflecting and exploring thoughts, feelings, ideas, moral loneliness, anxieties and aspirations. The small group enables students to take a little time to gain a positive experience, develop coping skills, cultivate safe and genuine friendships, and enjoy themselves without the short lived adrenalin hype of artificial substances. We aim to turn the tide of negativity, to replace stigma, guilt and shame surrounding mental health problems with positive attitudes and sound psychological/emotional well being."
