Four Kildare students joined Transition Year students across Ireland to graduate as Walk in My Shoes mental health ambassadors during a special online ceremony .
On Tuesday’s Youthscene, we heard from Megan Browne and Amanda McArdle who told us about the Transition Year Programme from St Patrick’s Mental Health Services.
Amanda runs the Walk In My Shoes campaign and explained why she feels more young people are comfortable coming forward with their mental health issues.
Meanwhile, Megan, a student in Colaiste an Atha in Kilmuckridge, outlined the lessons she learned from taking part and why she feels she’s ready for senior cycle after some tips from St Pats.
We also caught up with Jane Byrne of the Wexford Volunteer Centre who gave us details on how we can get involved on National Volunteer Week.
