An annual Sale of Works (beginning Wednesday 9 October) and a Family Fun Day (on Sunday 10 October) are features of TASK’s marking of National Mental Health Week at its base in the Old Auxiliary Hospital in Kilkenny.
TASK (Training and Support Kilkenny) is a rehabilitative training programme for adults, part of the HSE’s mental health services.
TASK helps people to improve and maintain mental wellbeing, develop coping strategies and self-care skills and primarily regain confidence. Based in the Old Auxiliary Hospital complex in Kilkenny, TASK has a studio space in the main building, a workshop for upcycling furniture and a garden and horticultural project.

There will be an art exhibition opening at 3pm in the Marquee on Wednesday 9 of October.
