Smart D8 Partners with St Andrew’s Community Centre for “Love Your Heart” Wellbeing Event

   

Smart D8 is delighted to collaborate with St Andrew’s Community Centre, Rialto, as part of their upcoming “Love Your Heart” Community Wellbeing Event

Taking place on Thursday 12th February from 10am-2pm, this free event invites the local community to step away from the busy pace of daily life and focus on health, wellbeing, and self-care in a warm and welcoming environment.

A Day Dedicated to Community Wellbeing

The event will offer a wide range of free taster sessions and health supports available to book on the day, including:

  • Holistic therapies
  • Blood pressure checks with the Irish Heart Foundation
  • Free hearing checks with Hidden Hearing Ireland
  • Valentine’s nail glam
  • Healthy snacks and smoothie demonstrations
  • AED and defibrillator demonstrations
  • Raffle with tickets available on the day and in advance from reception

Mental Health First Aid Workshop with Smart D8 (1pm – 2pm)

As part of the event, Smart D8 will deliver a Mental Health First Aid workshop from 1pm-2pm, facilitated by Kieran Doyle.
This session is designed to support individuals in building confidence and understanding around mental health, using practical tools that can be applied in everyday life – whether supporting yourself, a friend, a family member, or someone in your community.

During the workshop, participants will learn:

  • How to recognise signs of mental distress
  • How to offer support using the ALGEE Action Plan
  • When and where to seek appropriate professional help
  • How to look after their own mental wellbeing

The session is suitable for everyone, with no prior knowledge required.

We look forward to joining St Andrew’s Community Centre and local partners for a positive, inclusive day focused on care, connection, and community.

💗 Everyone welcome – come along and take some time for you. 💗
