We were delighted to see everyone’s hard work. It was fantastic to see 200 schools across Ireland setting up Wellbeing Walls that creatively showcased how they are supporting positive mental health.
You can see a wide range of these Wellbeing Wall projects on our School Portal, a central hub of ideas and resources to help schools across the country to further promote and support mental health and wellbeing. The wellbeing projects shown on these walls included Wellbeing Walls; Buddy Benches; annual Antibullying and Wellbeing Weeks; wellbeing trees; and classroom wellbeing libraries.
