💙 WEARING BLUE, DOESN’T MEAN FEELING BLUE 💙
Recently, in recognition of World Mental Health Day, Garda Instructor Fergus Collins and the Garda College, Templemore, hosted a coffee morning for all personnel at the college under the theme “Wearing Blue Doesn’t Mean Feeling Blue.”
The event was a huge success, and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who attended and supported this important initiative. 💙
We were delighted to welcome Superintendent Brona O’Reilly and Sergeant Claire Malone from the Employee Assistance Office, alongside Chief Superintendent Sugrue and Superintendent Ruane.
A special word of thanks to St Paul’s & St Raphael’s Garda Credit Unions for proudly sponsoring the event and for their continued support of worthwhile causes and initiatives that promote wellbeing and mental health awareness.
Together, we can continue to break down stigma, encourage open conversations, and remind one another that it’s okay not to be okay. 💙
