Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Positive Mental Health in Schools: Discussion

4:00 pm

I accept that but they are sometimes the referrer. They can refer to and link with external agencies. It is a pity that guidance counsellors' hours have been dramatically reduced. Perhaps there is a potential there to train guidance counsellors further so that they will have skills if those skills are needed, and if that requirement is determined to respond to those needs.
