AWARE is the Depression Charity for Northern Ireland, offering support and education for people with depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. The charity has a large network of peer-led support groups run by a team of trained volunteer. We deliver mental health and wellbeing programmes to mothers to support their mental health before, during and after pregnancy. We are active in campaigning for maternal mental health issues to be prioritised in Northern Ireland. Our programmes focus on prevention, early intervention, postvention, education and support. Our vision is of a future where people can talk about their mental health openly, access services appropriate to their needs and have the skills and knowledge to maintain positive mental health.
