Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion

Mr. Enda McGorman:

We have done considerable advocacy on that issue. I work on a CYPSC and the CYPSCs do work. They are integrating the services and pulling them together. Just last week, my CYPSC launched a pack to support schools around school refusal in the Fingal area. There are good nuggets and I do not want to come into the committee with a tale of despair. However, we are looking for improvement and at where we can direct our energies.
