You are invited to join us on Wednesday, 9 April from 10am to 2.30pm at The Law Society of Ireland, Blackhall Place, Dublin 7 to mark the launch of significant academic research on three Rethink Ireland education and mental health funds.

Carried out by the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, University of Galway over six years, these in-depth evaluations of 24 innovative projects offer new insights and recommendations to help improve education and mental health outcomes for young people across the country.  

For the first time in Ireland, we're now able to demonstrate the social return on investment (SROI) for a large-scale investment in education and mental health, as well as sharing the actions that were key to achieving positive outcomes. 

This is an event for policymakers, practitioners, funders and those working in the education and youth mental health sectors in Ireland.  
 
We are extremely excited to share the findings of these reports, which could have a significant impact on the future of education and youth mental health in Ireland.

Registration here.
