Mental Health Movement

We are a non-profit organisation established in 2019 to address the growing rates of suicide and poor mental health.

Our founder, Caoimhin McNulty, started MHM in memory of his friend Brougue, who tragically took his own life at the young age of 13.

At the heart of our mission lies a passionate commitment to nurturing the mental health and well-being of children, young people and adults in the communities we call home. We offer engaging mental health workshops where young minds soak up invaluable information on mental well-being, self-care, and the art of supporting one another. But we don’t stop there – We support people to help them develop CVs, prepare for interviews and find employment. We provide crucial counselling services to children and young people through our associate counsellors. Currently, we’re running a counselling service for both adults and children where we are working closely with schools, community organisations and those who directly contact us. We hope to continue to build on this vital service.

Our Team

Our team is a passionate and dedicated group. Caoimhin McNulty, our Director, has a deep-rooted commitment to the cause, having played a key role in all our services and having founded the organisation at the age of 18 in Ardoyne, Belfast. Our creative director, Nicola Clarke, plays a key role in our marketing and social media platforms.

Whilst our counsellors are associate members they are fully trained and registered with the BACP and work within their ethical framework.

Our Board

At the helm of our board, you’ll find a dynamic group of women leading the way. In fact, all key positions, including Chair, Vice Chair, and Secretary, are held by young women. This bold leadership composition underscores our unwavering dedication to fostering diversity and inclusivity in prominent roles which is uncommon in the voluntary sector.

Our commitment doesn’t stop there. With a schedule of regular board and committee meetings, we prioritise open and effective communication. This, in turn, plays a pivotal role in facilitating the decision-making processes that drives our mission forward.

Our board and subcommittee members, are all aged between 19 – 27, This makes us a unique organisation in Northern Ireland, as we believe we are the only one led entirely by young people.
