Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Youth Mental Health: Discussion

Mr. Jim Ryan:

I do not think so, but the Deputy is correct in that we have to be careful about funding a variety of different online initiatives. Our experience is that young people access resources in a way over which we have no control anyway. They will go online and look at SpunOut.ie, Turn2me or something else. They could access an American or Australian service or any one of a variety of different options. We are trying to ensure that what we are delivering is evidence-based and backed up by proper clinical governance.
