MindOut has been developed to support the social and emotional wellbeing of young people in secondary schools and youth sector settings. Its aim is to give them time and space to identify things that impact on their mental health, and to explore how they deal with these issues.
It was developed by the Health Promotion Research Centre at NUI Galway and the HSE’s Health Promotion and Improvement Department, and has been shown to improve young people’s overall mental health and wellbeing.
The school-based programme involves 12 classroom sessions.
