Find Help NI provide information, advice and stories to benefit mental health and wellbeing, from simple ways to boost wellbeing to advice in a crisis. Everyone is at different stages of their wellbeing journey and Find Help NI provides tips for those interested in finding ways to boost gratitiude, mindfulness and overall mood.

No matter the species, pets can bring us immense joy, love, and positive energy. So, whether you have a dog, cat, bird, hamster, or even a reptile as a companion, cherish and appreciate the happiness they bring into your life. “I have been helping out at the BARN Animal Rescue in Newtownards for around four years now. Working directly with the dogs has really helped my anxiety and mental health. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning the kennels or just taking a dog out for a walk in the sunshine and fresh air socialising, it lifts my mood and helps me have a positive outlook on life.

There are animal rescue centres all over NI, so why not reach out and see if there are any opportunities to volunteer? Or visit one of our Open Farms across the province where you can often feed lambs, and be with farm animals - another joyful experience!
