NEED HELP
A Lust For Life | Mental Health Charity Ireland
TOOLS
Our mental health can always be strengthened and improved if we genuinely invest in it, take care of ourselves and each other, and get help if we need it. We want to explore all the invaluable resources, tools, information and therapies out there for people looking to improve their mental fitness, emotional lives and psychological resilience. Mental health can be a subjective and personal journey of self-discovery and self-awareness, and it’s ultimately up to each of us to explore and customise the most effective course of action for ourselves. Of course professional help can play an important role in this. Experiencing mental well-being empowers us to live well in a world that is often challenging, yet always offers opportunities for healing and happiness.

Howaya! We hope you’re enjoying A Lust for Life.
While you are here… can we ask you a favour?
We know, pop ups are absolutely no craic. But seeing as you are here anyway, which means you must be a sound head, we thought we’d tap you on the shoulder and ask for your help.

Lace Up for A Lust for Life
This October, we’re calling on people across Ireland to join our tribe, Rise Up and Lace Up for A Lust for Life! Take on 150km your way - walk, run, jog, cycle, or swim - every kilometre you move brings us closer to a world where every young person in Ireland has the tools to look after their own minds.

for A Lust for Life
This October, we’re calling on people across Ireland to join our tribe, Rise Up and Lace Up for A Lust for Life! Take on 150km your way - walk, run, jog, cycle, or swim - every kilometre you move brings us closer to a world where every young person in Ireland has the tools to look after their own minds.
We’re asking you to raise a minimum of €150 (that’s €1 for every kilometre) which will go directly into creating life-changing mental health education for schools across Ireland.
