Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education
Ms Maureen Murray:
The programme we are suggesting should be rolled out nationally. It builds confidence and capacity in schools to talk about mental health and related concerns openly and honestly with everybody in the community. Everybody in the community is made responsible for supporting and promoting mental health. It is a village issue rather than an individual issue.
