The Amber Group
The Amber Group was established in 2018, in order to give the student body a voice around Mental Health Awareness. It became apparent that students felt strongly about how mental health awareness was created and promoted within the school community. To this end we envisaged a student body who would be involved in deciding how we as a school community could approach mental health and that students were better placed to decide what students needed. The Amber Group aims to remove the stigma often associated with mental health and to create space where students feel safe and encouraged.
We meet once a week to have a check in with each other and organise any upcoming events. This past while during Covid 19, organising events have had to be put on hold. We hope to be back up and running in September.
In the past we have organised extended tutor, morning walks, guest speakers, 'Wear Green for Sam's', non uniform day in aid of Dublin Samaritans etc.
