Ba mhaith liom gach duine a spreagadh le bheith rannpháirteach sna himeachtaí atá beartaithe agus le cabhrú ionas go n-éireoidh le Seachtain na Sláinte agus na Folláine i mbliana. Is iontach an deis í seo d’óg agus d’aosta páirt a ghlacadh i ngníomhaíochtaí agus in imeachtaí go leor a chuidíonn leis an duine a bheith sláintiúil, folláin. I am delighted to introduce the Health and Wellbeing Week Brochure and I would like to acknowledge and thank all participating agencies and organisations throughout the County. I would encourage everyone to get involved in the planned activities and to help make Health and Wellbeing Week 2016 a success. This is a great opportunity for young and old to participate in a range of activities and events which encourage Health and Wellbeing. Mayor Guss O Connell < RETURN TO INDEX OF EVENTS Chief Executive’s Message We believe that the annual Health and Wellbeing Week is a great opportunity for South Dublin County Council and its partner agencies to raise awareness of the many services and facilities available to our citizens aimed at improved health. A number of programmes that were promoted as part of Health and Wellbeing week 2015 are still ongoing including We Can Quit (women supporting women to stop smoking). The week is supported by a number of Health and Wellbeing “Ambassadors” from the communities across South Dublin. The Health and Wellbeing of our population is a measure of our success as a society. As a local authority we influence physical and mental wellbeing through social inclusion initiatives, sports programmes and community events. We are the lead agency in areas such as, recreation activities, library services, employment creation, housing supply, community infrastructure and financial supports. In this context we are both conscious and proud of our role and we continue to promote and emphasise the wellbeing of our citizens as a priority objective of service delivery. The Healthy Ireland (HI) Frame Work 2013-2025 states “The impact of positive social interaction cannot be underestimated. Social Interaction and supporting social connectedness and involvement in community life are a keystone to empowering people at the individual level and building strong communities for health and wellbeing.” South Dublin County Council chairs the Healthy Ireland South Dublin Healthy County Working Group. A healthy county is defined by the way it works to support health and wellbeing. It is conscious of health, and works to improve it through continually improving its physical and social environments. A healthy county also develops the community resources that enable people to support each other in living their lives and achieving their potential. Health and Wellbeing Week introduces new programmes and promotes ongoing activities to promote a healthier county. This brochure lists a series of events, initiatives and programmes designed to help attendees achieve their wellness goals and better equip them to lead a happier, healthier lifestyle. I hope you enjoy the programme of events.
