  • Somewhere To Turn To, Someone To Talk To
    01/05/2009
    Headstrong launched its foundation document “Somewhere To Turn To, Someone To Talk To” which describes a new way of thinking about and working with young people to support their mental health.
    Almost two in three young people in Ireland are ‘unable to cope with the problems they face’ according to a new report launched on 25th March by Headstrong, the National Centre for Youth Mental Health, with the support of QUINN-healthcare.

    The report yields the following findings:
    1. Only 38% of young people report being able to cope with the problems they face;
    2. Only 64% report having an adult available to them to talk through their problems regularly;
    3. 47% of respondents report having been bullied at some point in their life;
    4. 10% have had serious problems and have not sought professional help.

    The report proposes a solution to the current thinking and way of working with young people which will significantly enhance the mental health and well-being of future generations of Irish teenagers.

    Many of the questions asked in the first EQLS in 2003 were asked again, on such issues as employment, income, education, housing, family, health, work–life balance, life satisfaction and perceived quality of society. Being in possession of two sets of data will allow the research team to gauge how people’s lives have changed in the intervening years.
