Aware NI

AWARE NI is the depression charity for Northern Ireland and the only charity working exclusively for people with depression and bipolar disorder.

A Derry born charity, we now have two offices: one in Derry/Londonderry and a second office in Belfast. AWARE NI has an established network of 24 support groups in rural and urban areas across the country, which are run by our trained volunteers. Support groups welcome people with depression and bipolar disorder, as well as carers for people with the illness. We also deliver Information Outreach sessions and attend community events to give more information about AWARE NI and our mental health services.

AWARE NI delivers mental health and well being programmes in communities, schools, colleges, universities, and workplaces. These programmes include:

• Mood Matters
• Living Life to the Full
• Mental Health First Aid
• Mindfulness
