Shannon Students Develop Product To Support Children’s Mental Health

A group of TY students from St. Caimin’s Secondary School in Shannon have created a product that they hope will help primary schools students in particular.

1 in 10 young children are affected by mental health issues and they wanted to do something about this.

They have taken the concept of fairy doors and added a post box to them where a child can place a letter or notes as studies have shown that the act of writing about your feelings can help with mental health issues.

Sarah Barry, Alli Meehan, and Cliona Donellan from St Caiman’s Secondary School in Shannon joined Fiona to talk about the well being fairy.
