What is the Amber Flag?
The Amber Flag is an initiative run by Pieta House, which recognises the individual efforts of primary and secondary schools, youth reach, third level institutions, community groups, clubs and companies to create healthy, inclusive environments that support mental health.
The Department of Education in consultation with the HSE launched ‘Well-Being in Primary Schools –Guidelines for Mental Health Promotion. This joint collaboration between the Department of Education and the Health Service Executive aims to promote positive mental health and well-being in primary schools. It is recognised in these guidelines that positive mental health and wellbeing enables young people to lead fulfilling lives and is very important for their development.
In order to promote positive mental health and wellbeing in Clonea-Power N.S, we have decided to take part in the Amber Flag Initiative. Successful completion of the Amber Flag Initiative involves the whole community coming together in order to create a safe, positive and healthy attitude towards our mental health and wellbeing.
We will be documenting all of our hard work on this page. You will also be able to see our wonderful wellbeing work on our Instagram page.
