The Women’s Mental Health Network

St Patrick's Mental Health Services (SPMHS) and the National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI) have come together to develop a Women’s Mental Health Network for people and organisations with a committed interest in women’s mental health. We currently have 250 members.

The Women’s Mental Health Network

The network aims to provide a forum for information-sharing and networking among interested parties, and to advance interdisciplinary and multi-agency collaboration to progress shared aims and goals in the promotion of women’s mental health.

The network held its last event of 2019 on Friday, November 29th. The event – Gender-based Violence and Women’s Mental Health, was in support of the international 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence campaign. Gillian Dennehy - Services Manager with Women’s Aid, Ellen O’Malley Dunlop – Chair of the National Women’s Council of Ireland, and Felicity Kennedy – clinical supervisor and trainer presented on the day.

If you would like more information, or would be interested in joining the network, please email loleary@stpatsmail.com. It’s free to join and you can leave at any time by simply letting us know.
