10:00-11:00 Mental Health Triage: This seminar aims to challenge the belief that only school counsellors have exclusive responsibility for identifying and triaging mental health issues in students. Instead, the seminar emphasises the importance of school leadership teams in actively supporting mental health by participating in professional development. This approach shifts the responsibility of mental health from just counsellors to the entire school staff, creating a larger network of support. Elaine Ryan and Julia Roddy share their thoughts on a pilot seminar held at Clarin College.
11:00-12:00 Region 2 Meeting
12.00 Optional lunch and depart
