Listen. Connect. Empower.

Supporting the mental health of young people by supporting the adults closest to them. 

At Emotion Skills Ireland, we deliver tailored training to resource parents, teachers and front line workers with skills to navigate emotional health challenges in school or at home. 

Seeing young people in your care struggling with their mental health can bring up a lot of emotions - helplessness, fear, despair, shame, hopelessness, frustration and self-blame.  Emotion-Focused Skills Training provides practical and simple tools to help you respond effectively and confidently to emotional difficulties, thereby transforming relationships in the home, in school and elsewhere.
