Our aim is to provide inclusive support to those with mild depression, anxiety, stress or burnout and provide access to a range of affordable and holistic therapies. To do this, we need your help. We also facilitate those wishing to “donate a break” on behalf of others.

Gerri’s Place will bridge an existing gap in Ireland by providing early intervention, holistic preventative support for people who are struggling with their emotional or mental wellbeing through the provision of our wellbeing breaks.
By reaching people earlier and giving them the tools to support themselves it is anticipated that there will be a reduction in referrals to community mental health teams and therefore a reduction in waiting lists for services that are struggling to meet the current demand. By adding to the landscape of supports Gerri’s Place will provide a non-clinical option and become another step on the pathway to wellness enabling people to choose what supports suit them best.
We developed a pilot wellness weekend programme which we launched in March 2022. The wellness weekend was structured to mirror our core service offering process, structure and content. We invited 10 participants, all free of charge to participate in the weekend. This weekend was a huge success with all participants providing excellent feedback and confirming the need for this initiative.
