**COVID-19 UPDATE**

Creative Coffee will be running online for the remainder of the 2019/20 academic year! We will be on Zoom from 1 - 2pm on Wednesdays (keep an eye out on Facebook or send us a message/email for the link!)

We'll provide creative prompts and a space to chill out, escape the stress of online classes and assignments and see some of your college friends! All you need is your phone/laptop, some pencils and paper and a cup of tea or coffee!

During this stressful time its so important to look after your mental health, so we hope you can join us!

MHS are launching our very exciting MHS Live campaign across our social media platforms! Since we can't be with our members in person providing our usual workshops and activities, we will be bringing you all of this content from our homes around the country and more through a mixture of instagram stories, IGTV videos and podcasts! 

From quick tutorial videos to in-depth interviews with mental health experts and activists and much more, we hope to continue advocating for and educating on mental health despite not being able to get on campus, as looking after our mental health is now more important than ever!

We will be updating you shortly with more details, but you can follow us on Instagram (@mhsmaynooth) and Facebook (MU Mental Health Society) to stay up to date!

Missing all MHS's workshops, information and discussions during quarantine? Don't worry - we'll be bringing all these and more to you through our social media platforms over the next few months! Through a mixture of videos, stories, posts and podcasts, we'll be bringing you all our usual content and more for you to tune into whenever you like. And the best thing - you no longer have to worry about these workshops clashing with your timetable - they will be available to you any time you like!

From quick tutorials to interviews to vlogs, we'll have something for everyone. Keep an eye on our Instagram (@mhsmaynooth) and Facebook (MU Mental Health Society) for all the updates! 

Just because face-to-face teacher has had to end for this semester, doesn't mean our weekly meet-ups have to! Instead, we'll be taking our weekly Creative Coffee online through Zoom!

Each Wednesday afternoon from 1 - 2pm, we will be running Creative Coffee through a Zoom call, so you can chill out and get creative from the comfort and safety of your own home for the rest of the semester. Check out our social media or message/email us for the link, as it will be changing every week. 

We will be providing creative prompts and a space to get creative, have a break from online lectures and assignments and see some of your college friends! All you need to do is get your phone or laptop, pencils and some paper and a cup of tea or coffee. You can download Zoom free from the App Store or Google Play or log in online for free. 

This is a challenging time for everyone and it is so important to keep looking after your mental health! We will be available as always and will be trying our best to continue to provide you with our usual activities and information during these strange times. Keep following our social media to stay up to date with us and we hope to see you at some of our online events!

Unfortunately, to ensure the health and safety of all our members, MHS have had to make the difficult decision to postpone our Retreat to Ovoca that was due to take place over the Easter break. We will, however, be working to make this retreat happen in the future and will be working really hard over the summer to make sure this retreat is even better than our original plans! Due to the nature of our situation, it is impossible for us to give a possible date for the postponed retreat, but we will be sure to let you all know as soon as we do!

Thank you so much the enthusiasm and excitement you showed about the retreat - it really helps us to stay motivated in planning it despite the disappointing circumstances! We hope that you and all your loved ones are safe and well during this time and that you are all taking the time to care for yourself and your mental health. We will be running events online for the remainder of the semester so stay tuned!
