Who is supporting those supporting? 

Researchers at Jigsaw spoke to hundreds of teachers and schools staff to get their opinions on delivering well-being supports in schools. The sad fact is that many said they were struggling to do it and some said it was impacting their own well-being. 

One clear lesson from the study is that more training is needed for staff supporting youth mental health in our secondary schools. 

Also this week we are highlighting an Examiner article on the value of sleep for adolescents and a design workshop aimed at creating a new model of 'peer support' for young people in Ireland. 

All the best,
