Abuse doesn’t just happen to adults. Young people can be affected in different ways, including through dating abuse, coercive control and emotional harm. We offer young people one-to-one support and facilitate awareness workshops in schools and youth groups.

GR8 2 B YNG Workshops –
Wicklow Secondary Schools
Anu Wicklow has been involved with GR8 2 B YNG, a Wicklow Youth Mental Health Initiative for many years, and has facilitated a “Healthy Relationships Workshop” as part of the event for the last two years.
In 2025 and 2026, our youth outreach worker facilitated this one hour with TY students from Wicklow secondary schools and youth groups. There were lots of debates and hand on activites like recognising the “Red Flags” of abuse.
Then to mark World Mental Health Day, all the students were brought together to take part in a 5km walk along The Murrough to raise awareness of youth mental health.
