The Information Evening
We are inviting your organisation to participate on the evening by sending a representative to provide information on your service, however if you cannot attend in person, we would be happy to display information regarding your service on the night.
The Website
The first stage of the website will be launched at the event. This website will act as an information point, signposting service and mental health resource aimed at, service providers, young people and adults in Co. Kilkenny It will provide initial listings and content which will be developed overtime. We hope that your organisation can benefit from the website through a number of ways e.g. promote any courses, events and other helpful resources which promote your organisation and positive mental health.
The Network
Also on the evening we would be delighted to talk to groups interested in finding out more about the Lifeline network or becoming more involved with the group. This is especially relevant given that next year will see Lifeline significantly increase its capacity and activities. We are inviting all relevant service providers to come on board and help us develop this innovative network and shape the future of Lifeline. The ethos of the network is to support services in working together and in doing this we can make a difference for Kilkenny.
