Aware need our support!

1 in 10 of the Irish population experience depression (1 in 10) at any one time but many hide their condition and never get help. The support provided by Aware to those experiencing mental health difficulties is essential, and in these challenging times the demand for that support is higher than ever.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought huge challenges to people right across the country and as a result Aware has seen a sharp increase in the demand for their services. This combined with usual fundraising options no longer being an option is proving to put pressure on the vital services. Now more than ever it is important that people prioritise their mental health and McKesson Ireland, together with Aware, will be working to educate and support their colleagues and customers throughout the partnership.
