AWARE

London / UK

A donation from ICAP Charity Day will allow AWARE NI to deliver 71 ‘Mood Matters for Young People’ (MMYP) courses in post-primary schools across Northern Ireland, aimed at 14-18 year olds. MMYP gives youngsters the knowledge and skills to help maintain good mental health, build resilience and deal with problems and stresses in their lives, through discussions, animations, music and other activities to appeal to all learning styles and abilities.
