A new mental health initiative that was piloted in Carlow has had hugely positive effects, according to the local Regional Youth Service.
The initiative, which focuses on reducing anxiety and promoting emotional resilience in children from 8 upwards, is set to be rolled out around the rest of the country.
Ossary Youth in Kilkenny will be one of the first regioned to be trained up after the pilot in Carlow.
CEO of the Carlow Regional Youth Service Kathryn Wall says they got great results from the pilot.
