#130 Managing Low Mood, Depression & Relationships

In this week's episode of HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Host Noreen Turley is joined by HSE psychologists Dr Niamh Clarke and Dr Michelle Howard to explore HSE Balancing Stress, a free online programme designed to help people manage stress, low mood, and depression. They share practical approaches including behavioural activation, creating supportive routines, mindfulness, and using positive affirmations to build resilience. The discussion also looks at how stress can affect relationships, and how communication, kindness, and gratitude can strengthen connection and wellbeing. Listeners are encouraged to take small, manageable steps, use the programme’s flexible sessions, and seek professional support when needed via HSE resources.
