The therapeutic benefits of sailing have been highlighted by Social Entrepreneurs Ireland’s 2017 awardees Sailing into Wellness.
Sailing Into Wellness provides an opportunity for vulnerable groups to experience a completely new environment, on the open sea. For those with mental health issues, recovering from addiction or from disadvantaged backgrounds sailing is proven to be a powerful tool in their development. Working together as a team, individuals are supported to overcome personal challenges in an environment that is both exhilarating and therapeutic.
I think we can all agree that after a hard days work or heavy week a college, a quick trip with friends or an exhilarating solo spin will leave us feeling invigorated and alive. Spread the word and “Bring a Friend” next time you are heading out for a potter in the bay.
