What is Aware all about?

Aware is a national charitable organisation, in Ireland, providing free support, education and information services to those impacted by anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and related mood conditions. Aware's vision is to create a society where people affected by stress, depression, bipolar disorder and mood related conditions are understood, supported, free from stigma, and are encouraged to access appropriate therapies.

It's all about education and, well, AWAREness

Aware have a number of different initiatives to inform and educate people about the nature, extent and consequences of mental illness. For example, through specific education initiatives they run in schools across Ireland.

The organization also has several support channels through which those affected by depression, bipolar and related disorders can seek emotional and practical support from trained volunteers. The support channels range from phone, email and virtual support groups, all of which are provided free of charge.

Our pro bono team made Aware data flow...
