Mind Your Head, Take Care of Yourself

Evidence-based, digital Cognitive Behaviour Programmes available free with referral.

Mental Wellness Meets Street Art

Artists name: Holly Pereira
Location: Tara Street, Dublin

Reflecting Ireland’s artistic culture and community, three Irish street artists will be painting murals depicting their artistic interpretation of mental wellbeing in Dublin, Cork and Galway. 

This piece by Illustrator & Muralist Holly Pereira is a typographic response to the phrase "Mind your Head", and seeks to ask us to consider the importance of mental health in our daily lives.

The art aims to brighten the streets and acts as a creative reminder to passers-by that mental health support is available via the SilverCloud® digital mental health platform.

SilverCloud® by Amwell® is a clinically proven digital mental health and wellbeing platform, providing the HSE-funded national Guided Digital Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) service.

Working with three street artists, the art aims to raise awareness of the services in Ireland and to destigmatise the barriers surrounding accessing mental health care.

The locations of the artwork in Dublin, Galway and Cork reflect the top referring counties, with GPs and therapists utilising the evidence-based mental health programmes for their patients.
