Pupils and teachers from a Co Down school will sky dive from an exhilarating 15,000ft this weekend to raise mental health awareness
.
"TAMHI, which is based in North Belfast, delivers courses for Post Primary schools to use their resources to help promote mental health through play and sport. This license gives schools access to Game Tutorials, Game Cards and resources that will enable schools to deliver in their settings. "Their programme has been evaluated and is evidence based. Schools can read the independent reports on their website and watch the feedback from teachers and pupils who have benefited from taking part. Additionally their programme, if adopted, provides teachers/school leaders with an opportunity to roll out a fun, engaging programme over the duration of the year rather than a "one off" which evidence shows is less effective.
David Thompson, head of middle school, said: "I met the lads from TAMHI at a course they ran at Ards Rugby Club and thought that our pupils would love to learn more about mental health with education through games and play. Principal Michael Carville added: "I am delighted, and extremely proud, that the staff and pupils of Regent House are fundraising on behalf of mental health charities. Within school we work very hard to ensure all our pupils and colleagues gain the support they need to help them deal with the pressures and challenges of life. We would like to thank everyone who has donated to this very worthy cause at a time when money is very tight.
