Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Mental Health Services: Discussion

Dr. Fiona Keogh:

My understanding is there is a schools well-being programme being implemented at the moment. This is very much focused on just that - on building resilience and on giving children the life skills they need to be able to cope with the bumps and knocks of life.

Plenty of research evidence tells us that this kind of programme and intervention is a good investment. There is a $1 to $8 return on these kinds of programme.
