Three Kerry students graduate as Walk in My Shoes mental health ambassadors

Three Kerry students were among 120 Transition Year students across Ireland to graduate as Walk in My Shoes mental health ambassadors.

The flagship programme has been run by St Patrick's Mental Health Services since 2012.

Since then, over a thousand young people in Ireland have taken part in the programme which helps students to support their own wellbeing and that of families and friends.

Miriam O'Sullivan from Dingle, Mairead Barry from Listowel and Clara McElligott, from Kenmare graduated as mental health ambassadors this year.
