Testimonials

• Thomas Coggins, Deputy Principal of Corran College

  ‘We were very impressed with the ‘be well’ programme.

  We felt that a large number of our students were having a difficult time post lockdown, and were delighted to engage our generation to provide our students with mechanisms of dealing with stress and anxiety.

  Their method of reaching out to students was very interactive and showed a high level of preparation. Their presentation style was very impressive, they brought great energy and enthusiasm to a sometimes serious topic.

  Our students have benefited greatly from this programme, and look forward to inviting our generation to present on the ‘be well’ and other available programmes into the future.’.

• Jessica – Donegal Youth Service

  We did a program with Laura Doherty, we were with Laura Doherty for 5 weeks every Tuesday evening in W3 for an hour, from the dates 20th of October to the 24th of November, from this program we learned a lot and talked about peer mentoring and how to be a good peer mentor, she then talked to us about Mental health, how to deal with, how to keep yourself healthy, how to help someone with Mental health problems and how important it is. At this program Lura had done up a powerpoint, to present to us.

• Matthew – Donegal Youth Service

  In this course we learned about how to mentor other younger people and how if they have someone that listens to them and is friendly they will feel more comfortable in school.

  We also learned that if you’re going to mentor someone else about their mental health and school work you have to make sure that you aren’t struggling with your mental health or work.

  I enjoyed the course, especially the pizza at the end!!

  “In light of the challenging times, which have impacted on our children’s well-being. This programme came along at just the right time for our school. It helped in giving the children and our teachers the tools and techniques to help them cope with anxiety, their individual fears, how to manage stress and their own worries. We believe as a school it is vital will build-up our children to be resilient and the earlier in life that they learn a range of coping strategies the better, as they grow and mature as learners and global citizens of the future.”
