Pupils’ booklet on mental health reaches three finals

A booklet designed to help young people take care of their mental health has seen its six transition-year creators advance to the finals of three national competitions in the next month.

Bishopstown Community School students Aleksandra Jedrzejczyk, Niye Aihie, Liam Harrington, Maeve McGovern, Fiona Murphy, and Saulius Zurnia wanted readers of their booklet to really think about their mental health.

Therefore Changes asks people to take a new challenge every day for 30 days. Every day’s challenge builds on those before it and seeks to equip the reader with the skills necessary to keep managing their mental welfare, from analysing the way they talk and view themselves to nurturing the relationships they have with others.
