“Be Healthy, Be Happy’ Programme
All 2nd year students have embarked upon the “Be Healthy, Be Happy” Programme coordinated and facilitated by Foróige. This programme was developed based on consultation with staff, volunteers and young people in relation to the needs of adolescents today. Specifically, this programme focuses on four areas of health and well-being including; physical health, social health, mental health and spiritual health. The programme consists of 2 modules, each containing over 14 hours of facilitated content to achieve specified learning outcomes. This programme is aimed at 12-18 year olds.The aim of Foróige’s Be Healthy, Be Happy programme is to enable young people to take charge of their health and well-being so as to enhance the quality of their lives by developing strengths and assets in areas of physical, mental, social and spiritual health.
The programme covers topics such as nutrition, exercise, social skills and bullying, what helps and hurts mental health, personal strengths and talents, spiritual qualities and relaxation techniques.
The programme will help young people to develop effective coping skills and to challenge attitudes to risky behaviour, in turn influencing the choices and decisions they make.
We hope the students will find this Programme a most beneficial, informative and thought-provoking experience.
