"Self-care toolkits", reflection sessions and learning the building blocks of resilience are among the contents of the Government's new Keep Well campaign.

Today, the  'Minding Your Wellbeing' programme was launched.

The initiative offers five twenty-minute video sessions to teach people the key elements of positive mental health.

They focus on five key topics - self-care, over-thinking, exploring emotions, building positive relationships and improving resilience.

Speaking at its launch, Minister of State for Public Health and Well Being Frang Feighan said "I would encourage everybody to log into the yourmentalhealth.ie website and begin using these videos.”

Anne Sheridan, HSE Programme Manager for Mental Health and Wellbeing said: “Never before have so many of us needed to reflect on and purposefully mind our mental wellbeing."

Ms Sheridan said while the word "self-care" is not a word she grew up with it's important.

"It's is a priority for us all now as there is no health without mental health.”

The HSE campaign is the first of its kind to be delivered remotely in Ireland.
