GROW

GROW is a nationwide mental health organisation which offers ongoing support to people struggling with any aspect of their mental wellbeing.

Members are helped to recover from all forms of mental breakdown, or indeed, to prevent such happening. GROW, founded in Australia in 1957 by former mental sufferers, has a national network of over 130 Groups in Ireland.

GROW's mission is to nurture mental health, personal growth, prevention and full recovery from all kinds of mental illness. Its principal strength is the support members give each other from their own experience in matters to do with mental health.

One in four people in Ireland will experience some kind of psychological or emotional distress in the course of this year.

According to the World Health Organisation Ireland has the seventh highest rate of suicide in people in the EU in the 15-24 age group.

Raising money to continue this work is one of our greatest challenges.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GROW Young Adult

GROW in Ireland believes that everyone is of equal value regardless of age. However, there is a specific need to provide resources and help for young adults.

Because young adults are deemed most at risk from mental illness, GROW in Ireland is developing resources specifically to help their particular needs.

Our ultimate goal is to provide a large network of easily accessible young adult support groups countrywide.

We define a young adult as anyone between the ages of 18 and 30.

There is a Young Adult Booklet available free to download as a PDF which is a useful resource for young people to have on their phone.
