Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (Resumed)
Professor Barbara Dooley:
Ms Fox is probably best to speak to that because she is the Chair of Psychological Counsellors in Higher Education Ireland, which is the umbrella group. There are two elements to that. It is the core through the counselling services, but we also need to embed services more broadly into our system, whether it is student advisers in UCD or whatever. There are supports that are not necessarily provided by counsellors. These also need to be embedded in the system. We also need to get lecturers to think about how we embed principles of good curriculum design into the system. They are lots things we can do.
