I thank the Deputy for his question. I advise him that a promotional leaflet providing information on a number of trialled and youth mental health supports is currently being delivered to 4,000 schools across the country to raise awareness of the services that are available. I worked in collaboration with the Minister to get those out to the schools this week in paper form. A quarter of a million leaflets were issued. The leaflet is also available online. I will take on board the Deputy's point because teachers in many cases are the first point of contact and they can see an awful lot of the warnings signs.
