Wellbeing isn’t just about eating your greens or going for a run – it’s about feeling good in yourself, your relationships, and your place in the world. Be Healthy, Be Happy is Foróige’s holistic health and wellbeing programme for young people aged 12 to 18, helping them build the resilience and confidence to take care of themselves and others.

The programme explores four core areas of wellbeing:

• Physical health – building healthy habits through nutrition, movement and self-care
• Social health – developing strong friendships and positive support networks
• Mental health – managing stress, emotions, and developing healthy coping strategies
• Spiritual health – reflecting on values like kindness, fairness and gratitude

Young people learn how to recognise challenges – whether it’s stress, bullying, substance use or low mood – and how to respond with tools that strengthen their wellbeing and sense of control. It’s interactive, practical, and grounded in real life.

Be Healthy, Be Happy gives young people a space to reflect, connect, and grow – laying the foundations for a healthier, happier future.
