REGARI Wellness Workshops being rolled out

REGARI (Roscommon East Galway Advancing Recovery in Ireland) is a HSE based initiative. They are holding a Registration Day for their upcoming 14-week spring/summer workshops on Tuesday February 20th between 1-4pm at their offices adjacent to Roscommon University Hospital. People can also register at any of the 14 workshops which run every Tuesday starting on February 27th from 2-5pm in Roscommon Library.

Some examples of workshops include ‘Developing our Self-Compassion’, ‘Strategies for Managing Anxiety’, ‘Managing Setbacks’ and ‘Trauma and Healing’. All modules developed at REGARI Recovery College are co- produced by people who use the mental health services, their supporters, health professionals and by anyone with an interest in mental health and wellbeing.

Workshops are open to anybody over 18 years of age and are designed for those who are interested in learning more about coping with mental health challenges through education and conversation.

One person who attended workshops in the past said “REGARI Recovery College has helped me to develop an awareness of mental health difficulties. I enjoyed the social interactions each week, going home and reading up on what I learned. I enjoyed the variety of different topics covered”.

Peer educator Amanda Hunt from the recovery college said “REGARI is a lovely space to meet up and connect with others in a warm and friendly environment. Recovery Education’s aim is to support mental health and wellbeing through adult education and transformative learning. I hope you will join us at some point on your journey”. Everyone is welcome.
