Dublin - Event Notice Thursday January 01 1970 Festival of music and discussion to tackle mental health prejudice![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() First Fortnight is an arts-based mental health awareness project that happens in the first two weeks of every year. This is its second year of operation having successfully produced First Fortnight 2010. Amnesty International Ireland is delighted to be working with them this year. Mental health -prejudice and discrimination can do more lasting harm to people than a period of low mood or self harm. An awareness campaign in the First Fortnight of the year works because we are all a little raw that time of year and more likely to be open to an empathic response. We expect the First Fortnight of every year to be synonymous with mental health awareness and ending discrimination, prejudice and social stigma. |
