Local
Keep Well Campaign
This local campaign aims to support people of all ages to mind their own physical and mental health and wellbeing by adding healthy and helpful habits to their daily and weekly routines. It provides guidelines, information, and tips on things that will help us keep well through the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
From the Wicklow Keep Well website you can also access local and national information updates and statistics in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic including plans, responses, resources and supports.
Starting with a plan to do one small thing that will keep you well is a great way to look after your mental health and wellbeing.

During 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and bearing in mind the shared Vision for Community Wellbeing developed with communities throughout the County, which highlighted the wish that people be connected and enjoy a good level of social and community support Co. Wicklow PPN decided to develop a resource to help support the wellbeing of individuals and communities. We teamed up Avril Bailey to develop this Super Charge Your Selfcare Programme.
