What is HEASDUP Kildare?

The HEADSUP Programme was established in Kildare in 2016. It is an evidence based mental health education and training programme aimed at those who are finding life stressful, feeling isolated or lonely and hoping to learn new ways to improve their well-being.

This group-based initiative focuses upon 4 core elements:

Wellbeing and resilience: helping people to gain an understanding of mental health and recovery and wellness

Life planning : assisting people to identify and achieve their personal goals and access supports and services

Physical wellbeing: recognising the strong correlation between good physical and mental health

Positive social supports: encouraging people to develop their connections and networks.

HEADSUP gives individuals an opportunity to set goals and determine a realistic life plan to ‘get back on track’

What do we provide?

We provide group work, individual work, physical fitness, social space and signposts and links to external supports and services.
