Mental Health Educate

Mental Health Educate is a website that provides access to a range of resources about young people's mental health. The resources are primarily aimed at educators but are free to use by anyone with an interest in exploring issues affecting young people's mental health. All of the resources were developed by clinicians, researchers and academics at the Department of Psychiatry, RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences along with a number of collaborators across the education, Arts and online sectors. The target age range for most of the resources is young people aged 13-21 years. Some of the resources are available in both English and Irish.
