Helping you to help yourself to good mental health
At Hope 4 Life NI, we believe that everyone has a right to good mental health, and since 2015 we have played our part in contributing to ensure this happens.
Our vision and mission, from the start was to focus on prevention and early intervention mental health workshops and training programmes; because prevention is always better than cure…
Our highly qualified and passionate local team have written and developed our innovative and creative Uberheroes® programme for children and young people. We have also created bespoke Adult training workshops and programmes, alongside some well-known accredited mental health training programmes such as WRAP© and MHFA to name two of the programmes available.
Our collaborative approach with other organisations and agencies, focuses entirely on empowering our beneficiaries. We know that simple changes can, and do, make a big difference, increasing understanding of resilience, positive coping strategies and wellbeing practices.

Our Programmes
Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP©)
This unique programme approaches mental health issues and life’s inevitable challenges from a primary intervention and recovery model perspective, empowering participants to adapt and apply their own personalised action plan throughout their lifetime using the taught framework. This then enables the participants to support others with their own framework, however this is dependent on the depth of training participants choose to take part in.
Uberheroes® Youth Programme
Uberheroes® is a pre-emptive, early intervention programme that uses the true stories of young people who have navigated adverse experiences, retold in superhero themed comics where the heroes represent characteristics and strengths that support mental health and the villains represent issues that undermine wellbeing (all these characters were created by children and young people).
