‘My Mental Health Plan’ launched by HSE

By NiGP - 01st Jul 2024

‘My Mental Health Plan’ launched by HSE

A new online tool called My Mental Health Plan has been launched by the HSE to improve access to mental health supports for adults and young people over the age of 18. The interactive platform is a development of the mental health literacy campaign, and is designed to help people reflect on their own mental health needs. It offers personalised advice, information, and self-help tips to help people address issues and improve mental health and self-care.

Speaking at the launch, Minister of State for Mental Health Mary Butler said she was “delighted to launch” the new resource, and described it as “a great way to check in with your mental health and get advice and self-care tips”.

“It provides people with a tailored mental health plan with advice ranging from information and self-help resources to clear signposting to appropriate mental health supports. This is just one example, as a result of Sharing the Vision recommendations, of how we are making progress in addressing people’s mental health needs, from population-based mental health promotion all the way through to specialist mental health services.”

My Mental Health Plan consists of four questions on the most commonly reported mental health issues, particularly stress, anxiety, low mood, and sleep. Once complete, users have a tailored mental health plan with advice ranging from information and self-help resources, to clear signposting towards appropriate mental health supports. There is also an option for users to email their plan to themselves for future reference. The resource is available at: www2.hse.ie/mental-health/my-mental-health-plan/
