We had a busy summer preparing for our goal to deliver the Resilience Academy to over 5,000 students in 2018/19.
We currently have 60 schools booked in for the year and 20 more on our waiting list. Our team has grown from 2 organisers and facilitators to 6 full-time team members. And, we've advertised for 5 more!
Bookings have been demand led - meaning schools are requesting our Resilience Academy. Schools are the experts. They understand the importance of mental health education. But many are not equipped to provide this type of education to their students.
Over the school year, we'll deliver the programme all across Ireland - from Donegal in the north to Cork in the south. Unfortunately, we won't get to every school that requests the programme this year. But as our funding grows we'll hire more people and get to more students.
Thank you for supporting us and wanting us to succeed. The confidence and trust that you place in us means so much. With your help, we can make this the best suicide prevention programme, for teenagers, in the world.
