Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion

Ms Tami O'Leary:

I noticed a huge difference when I moved to the life centre. In my old school I found it very stressful and I just could not cope. When I went to the life centre, they were very helpful. There is nowhere near as much pressure put on you and the focus is more on your well-being, and that is where it should be in mainstream schools. Your mental health is more important than what points you get, and they cater for that really well in the life centre.
