Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education

Ms Lisa Molloy:

I will just speak in support of that. There have been many studies carried out in the UK, not only on the effectiveness of counselling and psychotherapeutic supports based in schools, but also on support for teachers and the wider school community. In 2013, a scoping review was carried out across studies in England and Scotland and 90% of school staff were extremely satisfied with the supports they were receiving. We have a lot of evidence to support the point being made.
