Teenagers open up on mental health

Teenagers are opening up about issues that affect their mental health as part of a programme to help prevent suicide.

The initiative has helped single out Carrigaline Community School as one of 45 to be awarded Ambassador School status by the Cycle Against Suicide charity.

The Co Cork school’s second such award followed classwork based around their papier mâché sculpture of the brain and the discussions with transition year students about how different feelings affect them.
