Discovery College West Ireland
Discovery College West is a place for young people aged 12-25 that promotes positive mental health, early intervention, and recovery through education rather than clinical treatment.
We facilitate workshops on mental health and wellbeing in the local community and in schools. ​Every workshop is co-produced with young people.
​
We are a Mental Health Ireland and HSE organization.
Our Mission
The Discovery College provides a space where young people can discuss, explore, learn and share knowledge and experience of mental health challenges, well-being and recovery.
Our Vision
Our vision is to build a world where mental health supports are rooted in personal mental health recovery and where individual supports are strengthened by community supports. We strive to build a world were no one is left behind because of mental health challenges, and where each person's lived experience is valued in holding up our community. The Discovery College is an early intervention and prevention service inclusive of every single young person. We envision a place where young people's needs are empowered and valued and we seek to compassionately rebuild structures to support all people, everywhere, no matter who they are.
