Brent Pope, one of the co-founders of Elephant in the Room, is hoping that this unique project will create a real conversation about mental health in the workplace.

 

You can support Elephant in the Room by making a donation here, or visiting elephantintheroom.ie to find out more about how you can have an elephant for your workplace, and show that it’s ok for their employees to discuss any mental health struggles they may be going through. Some of Ireland’s best known and respected artists and celebrities have agreed to decorate an elephant in their own unique way. These elephants will then be auctioned with all profits to the Samaritans Ireland.

 

Samaritans are delighted that Brent and the team behind Elephant in the Room selected Samaritans Ireland as their first charity partner. These are difficult times for many people and Samaritans volunteers are here for anyone struggling to cope. By partnering with Samaritans Ireland to raise awareness of our work and funds, Elephant in the Room will help us to be there to support people through the challenges they face. Samaritans’ helpline 116 123 is available day and night, 365 days a year thanks to our generous supporters, and we urge anyone in need to reach out for support
