Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Youth Mental Health: Discussion

Mr. Jim Ryan:

The education sector is an important part of the overall work of the group. From a HSE point of view, we work with schools but we have to be conscious of our role and the limits of it. At primary school level, we have to be conscious that they are the experts in the area and they also have the relationship with the young people. What goes on in school will impact in the community and at home. We would be supportive of it, but we need to recognise the role that the education system also has in this area.
