| Tool Description | The MindOut programme is a ten-session training module that can be used for Transition Year and Fifth Year groups in Irish secondary schools (16-17 year olds). It is now being piloted with Youthreach Centres in the West of Ireland. It takes a positive approach to the promotion of emotional and social health amongst all young people, viewing mental health as a resource for everyday living and without necessarily referring to mental illness. The emphasis is on the wide and varied range of strategies available to young people to cope with stressful or challenging situations, from personal coping skills to informal networks of support to professional or voluntary support services. |
