LIMERICK is set to benefit from fast and easy access to affordable mental services in the city with the launch this week of the new ‘MyMind’ mental health centre at 66 O’Connell Street.
Building on the success of its three existing centres in Dublin and Cork, MyMind opened its doors in Limerick this week with a new centre offering a variety of mental health supports.
A multi-award winning, non-profit, community-based mental health service provider, MyMind’s new Limerick base has six psychotherapists and counsellors, and aims to expand this number over the coming months. Services are available to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families, who may be experiencing issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, sexual problems or eating disorders.
MyMind’s aim is to offer early intervention into mental health problems, to help to build people’s resilience and avoid more serious problems developing in the long term. As well as face-to-face services, MyMind offers online support via the e-MyMind platform, and a new MyMind@work programme offering information and skills workshops to workplaces in order to enhance staff resilience and wellbeing.
Appointments can usually be offered within 72 hours, between 8am and 10pm, by booking on www.mymind.org or by calling 0766 80 10 60.
