This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Aware, the national organisation which provides information and emotional support services to individuals and families affected by depression, and the first event this year is Depression Awareness Week (DAWN), which is this week.
The DAWN campaign aims to reach out to individuals and families in Ireland who are affected by depression and to diminish the stigma associated with this common condition. Aware’s newly redesigned website www.aware.ie was also launched to coincide with DAWN, and will include new online support services.
Celebrity ambassadors Eddie Hobbs, Ray D'Arcy, Pamela Flood and Aidan Power to name but a few, are lending their support to this campaign.
