Psychologists help Elisha’s school cope with loss

Psychologists specialising in helping students through difficult ordeals were yesterday giving help to teachers at the school attended by 14-year-old Elisha Gault, whose body was found in the River Suir on Sunday night after an eight-day search.

Elisha was a third-year student at Comeragh College in Carrick-on-Suir. Easter holidays began last Friday but the school opened yesterday for a number of hours to allow students to talk to each other and to teachers about their loss.
