SÁMH Malahide Lions made our first presentation of €2,800 to SAMH for 2024. We are helping to support their valuable counselling support service to the young people of Malahide and Portmarnock. We will continue to support this service project throughout the year as the Mental Health of young people is a priority for us.
SAMH Youth Counselling is a free and confidential locally based counselling service for young people between the age of 12 – 18yrs who are having challenges to their positive mental health. This service was initiated by the North Dublin Regional Drug & Alcohol Task Force and now provides FREE early intervention counselling as part of our prevention strategy at community level. This service recognises that early intervention is key in interrupting a young persons trajectory into future problems. As well as alcohol and drug problems this service supports those with anxiety, eating disorders and school difficulties. The family is also offered support and advice.
