Hello, How Are You? by Mental Health Ireland
May 15
On Thursday May 15th, 2025, Mental Health Ireland will be holding their annual campaign ‘HELLO, HOW ARE YOU?
Hello, How are you? is a campaign about connection and engaging in open conversations about mental health. The campaign asks individuals, communities, workplaces, friends & family to say Hello and ask the question ‘How Are You?’ in a meaningful way. Asking this small question and having one conversation can make a real difference in someone’s life. Creating, maintaining and staying connected with others helps tackle loneliness, creates a sense of belonging and purpose and builds relationships.
You don’t need to be an expert to have a meaningful conversation. By using the HELLO Steps, you can feel supported in asking the question. Let’s make saying Hello and asking How Are You? an everyday question that keeps us connected.
You can support this campaign by hosting a coffee morning/Connect Café, a lunchtime walk, an information stand, post a social media campaign or add it to a meeting that day, the possibilities are endless.
If you are planning to host an event, we ask that you please register it on our national website through the link below so we can keep track of all the events taking place across the country. Please feel free to also let me know and as your local development officer I will try and support your event in any way I can.
Register your Hello, How are you Event.
If you want to learn more about the campaign before organising an event, we will have a number of online information sessions available which take approximately 30-40 minutes
We will also have a number of Training Sessions taking place online (and in person if needed), to support those who are planning to support the campaign but would like some further information on using the HELLO framework. The training sessions will take around 2 hours.
