The “Five Ways to Wellbeing” is a practical, easy-to-follow resource developed to help individuals maintain and improve their mental health. It was originally developed by the New Economics Foundation and is now widely promoted by Mental Health Ireland.

This guide encourages people to take small, everyday actions that make a big difference: Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, and Give. Each of these actions supports emotional and psychological resilience, helping people feel more grounded and positive in their day-to-day lives.

Tailored for all age groups, this tool is especially valuable for people living in Cavan and Monaghan who are looking for low-barrier ways to support their wellbeing—whether in rural settings, busy households, or digital communities. It’s ideal for individuals, families, workplaces, and community groups alike.

The resource is freely available online and includes practical suggestions for incorporating each action into daily life. It also links to further supports and information on mental health in Ireland.
