The One Good School™ Assembly saw over 350 participants from 100 post-primary schools take part in a celebration to mark the half-way point of a two-year mental health and wellbeing programme running in 146 post primary schools in 12 counties across the Republic of Ireland.
Under the theme ‘Sharing learning and looking forward’, contributions were made from school staff, parents and students; former President, Dr. Mary McAleese; programme sponsor JP Scally from Lidl Ireland, and Dr. Aleisha Clarke, Programme Manager, Mental Health and Wellbeing at the HSE.

Developed in line with government policy and supported by Lidl Ireland, Jigsaw’s One Good School™ initiative was originally launched in 2018. To date it has been rolled out to 218 post primary schools.
Aimed at and involving students, teachers, school leadership and parents, the initiative supports the mental health needs of young people, and those around them, by developing a shared ownership for mental health in schools.
