Successful mental health schools’ initiative to go nationwide

A successful mental health promotion initiative for schools and clubs which was launched in Cork earlier this year is going nationwide.

Support group, Suicide Aware, confirmed last night that its Amber Flag programme, similar to the Green flag environmental scheme for schools, will now be available around the country following unprecedented demand.

Suicide Aware CEO, Pat Behan, said she hopes the programme will help foster positive mental health wherever it is implemented.
