Shine Media Programme
Shine works closely with the media to promote responsible and accurate reporting on mental health. Through guidance, training, and collaboration, Shine helps journalists and media professionals understand the impact of stigma and misinformation while encouraging coverage that is respectful and informed.
Green Ribbon Campaign
Shine manages the national stigma-reduction programme for Ireland. An important part of this work is our annual Green Ribbon Campaign, which is now in its 16th year.
Shine Workplace Programme
Our goal is to help facilitate a cultural shift in workplaces so that employers and employees feel supported and secure in starting a conversation about how mental health can affect each one of us. We have developed a six-step pledge programme to help Irish workplaces create an open culture around mental health and play their part in challenging mental health stigma.
How can we help you today?
If you or someone you know is looking for confidential information or support related to mental health, you can contact us by email or phone. Phone lines are monitored Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Enquiries will be responded to as quickly as possible.
