‘’Find what works for you’’

Tackle Your Feelings is a Mental Wellbeing campaign that is supported by Ireland’s professional and elite rugby players.

The initiative seeks to break down stigma and encourage people to become more proactive in looking after their mental wellbeing.

Ambassadors include the likes of British and Irish Lions, Ireland and Leinster player Jack McGrath, Ireland and Ulster’s John Cooney, Women’s Irish International rugby player Hannah Tyrrell and former Ireland Grand Slam winner Marcus Horan.

The Tackle Your Feelings App was launched in February and features a series of Tackle Your Feelings workshops, set to be rolled out across the four-provinces which also feature content from the app.

These workshops are being delivered across Universities, Corporate and Farming Sectors.

The aim is based on sport and positive psychology principles, that help users as they are guided through a ‘Training Camp’ programme that will help them to work on aspects of mental wellbeing like confidence, satisfaction and resilience.

Through setting goals and reflecting on progress, users can expect to learn how to maximise their mental well being and gain confidence in practising evidence based strategies to help them do so.

The App is free to download on iTunes & Google Play.
