As thousands of students across Clare settle into the Junior Cycle and Leaving Certificate exam season, Clare Youth Service is once again opening its Exam Cafés across the county to provide young people with a place to relax, recharge and take a break between exams.
The cafés, which are running in Ennis, Killaloe, Kilrush, Sixmilebridge and Newmarket-on-Fergus, offer a safe and welcoming space where students can unwind, meet friends and access support during what can be a stressful few weeks.
To tell us more about the initiative and the importance of supporting young people’s wellbeing during exam time, Alan Morrissey was joined by Helena Slattery, Youth Worker with Clare Youth Service and coordinator of The Junction Café in Ennis.
