Tamhi Tackling Awareness of Mental Health Issues

Tamhi Tackling Awareness of Mental Health Issues Mental Health Charity: Sports, Youth & Schools Creating an environment where people can ask for help and support when needed.

About Us

TAMHI is a mental health awareness charity set up in 2011 by Joe Donnelly and Stephen McLaughlin in memory of Thomas "Tammy Tucker" McLaughlin who took his own life in 2009. TAMHI stands for Tackling Awareness of Mental Health Issues and the charity is set up to work with sport groups willing to use the power of sport to promote Positive Mental Fitness. Sport is reflective of our society

as a whole and therefore it is important that sport addresses the importance of promoting a positive mental fitness for all. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that one in four of us will experience a mental illness at some point in their lives. Participating in sport has a positive contribution to make to a person’s welfare if their experience is one that reflects the positive values of sport;


Fun
Friendship
Commitment
Honesty
Teamwork
Fair competition
Inclusion

TAMHI works with sports groups to support the development of an infrastructure that supports positive mental fitness. The Sports Develop-Mental Approach

TAMHI supports clubs to develop the 4P's

Last week we were in Belfast, bringing our Too Many Lives Lost campaign to the city alongside SOS Bus NI. 🌱

Every day on the streets, they support people at some of their lowest points. In 2024, there were 290 registered deaths by su***de. We’re standing together to demand change, as too many lives are being lost across Northern Ireland.

The NI Executive has the power to fully fund the mental health strategy, without delay.

Over 7000 people have now signed our petition.

Together, let’s plant the seeds of hope 🌱

Positive day St Malachy's High School Castlewellan Community delivering GENT programme.

Thanks to the program with Belfast City Council we extracted the bits that work best GENT and Games and now deliver it with wider school partners through the Power of Sport (Mental Wealth Games Capacity Program) supported by The National Lottery Community Fund Northern Ireland

The next step will be integrated mini workshops that peer mentors will deliver going forward.

🧠 At our final game of the season against Portadown on 25th April, our We Care You Matter team are launching something simple, but important — One Small Action.

It’s part of Mental Health Awareness Week (11th–17th May), but really, it’s about something bigger than a single week.

We all know someone who’s had a tough time. Sometimes we know, sometimes we don’t.
A message. A quick chat. Asking “are you alright?” — it might not feel like much, but it can mean everything to someone who needs it.

This week, take one small action. Check in on a mate. Pick up the phone. Or take a moment to check in on yourself too — because that matters just as much.

You’re not alone, even if it feels like it sometimes. And as a club, that’s something we believe in — looking out for each other.

One small action can make a big difference.

Fantastic day at the Belfast Metropolitan College Milfield inclusion football competition. Great to raise a bit of awareness of Text Teammate 85258.

Had a lovely conversation with a lady from Caring Breaks who told me that the adults they support still talk about the work with the Tamhi Tackling Awareness of Mental Health Issues team, which was fantastic.

What a super day in brilliant ☀️
