Shine
Shine are a national charity that supports people with lived experience of mental illness and their family members / supporters. Shine aim to empower people with mental health difficulties and their families through support, information and education. We also advocate for social change by promoting stigma reduction and social inclusion in our work towards a more compassionate Ireland.
Information and support on mental health
We discuss together your needs and concerns and provide options to help you with your mental health difficulty. We offer guidance on recovery planning and support that can help you identify how mental health difficulties are affecting your personal goals and challenges. All our supports will help you move forward with your mental health.
Groups for people with lived experience of mental health difficulties
Sharing experiences with others can be a great way of learning new coping skills and growing your support network. Our group facilitators have personal experience of moving forward from their own mental health difficulties.
Groups for family members, friends and supporters
It can be helpful to talk to other people with similar experiences and to learn new ways of coping. Our group facilitators have experience helping a family member or friend with a mental health difficulty.
Recovery education and training groups
We offer education and training programmes to empower people experiencing mental health difficulties, and those who support them, to manage their own recovery. Shine staff, people with lived experience and family members supporting people with lived experience of mental health difficulties design and produce our recovery focused education programmes together.
We also offer wellbeing workshops to help you manage dealing with life’s challenges.
