Walk in My Shoes – Transition Year Programme
Walk in My Shoe’s Transition Year Programme is a one-week mental health awareness placement, conducted by clinical staff from St Patrick’s Mental Health Services.
Every year, 100 students from across Ireland take part in the TY Programme, with 25 students participating in a week-long placement at a time. Students engage in approximately five sessions each day, focusing on various aspects of mental health. They also get to take part in a mock multidisciplinary team meeting.
Each May, Walk in My Shoes mark the graduation of students who have completed the programme, hearing from special guest speakers and giving out graduation certificates to each of the students, who leave the programme empowered to act as mental health ambassadors in both their schools and local communities.
