Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Deficiencies in Mental Health Services: Discussion

1:30 pm

Dr. Niall Muldoon:

That is the essence. We deliberately named our group the "well-being for teachers and learners" group so that everybody can become a teacher, and the child can teach the adult and vice versa. We need well-being for both and that is where culture comes in. If someone knows the teacher is struggling, there is no point asking that teacher to help a child. We have to provide that service all the way through the school community.
