The Foróige WAY project took part in the "Gr8 2 b yng" campaign, from Monday 10th to Friday 14th October 2016 for Youth Mental Health Week as one of the members of the Wicklow Youth Mental Health Initiative (W.Y.M.H.I.). Foróige Way Project is delighted be supported by the European Social Fund (ESF), enabling us to enable young people across Wicklow.
The week was launched at an opening ceremony by the Minister for Health Simon Harris, TD and included guest speaker Marguerite Kiely from Pieta House. During the week, students from Wicklow Town took part in a series of workshops designed to look at healthy and unhealthy relationships, what wrecks your head and finding balance.
The students were invited to look at their own mental health, to talk openly about what impacts it and how to look after it and each other. The week ended with a "Positive Steps" 5 kilometre walk along the Murrough, Co. Wicklow where 246 Transition Year students took part and received a goody bag full of information on local services.
