Our school has decided to participate in the Amber Flag initiative which is open to all primary schools across the country. Read the following excerpt that can be found on Pieta’s website:
“Pieta’s Amber Flag initiative celebrates communities that create healthy, supportive, and inclusive environments by promoting mental well-being. The initiative is open to primary and secondary schools, Youthreach, third-level, further education and training centres, clubs and other organisations.
- By taking part in the Amber Flag, you’re committing to creating a safer space for everyone to express themselves, seek help, and support each other.
- By being part of your Amber Flag Committee and getting involved in setting and achieving mental health goals, you can empower other people to prioritise their mental health, to overcome challenges, and build resilience.
- By joining Pieta’s Amber Flag movement, you’ll be part of a community across Ireland, working together to break the stigma surrounding mental health.
Whether you’re a teacher looking to implement a whole school initiative, a community leader looking to make an impact or an organisation committed to supporting the mental health of your members, there’s a place for you within our Amber Flag community.“
We celebrated Mental Health Awareness Week this year from January 20th – 24th, 2025.
