Mental health issues often develop during adolescence, making secondary school a critical time for assessment and support.  Growing Up with KELY (GUWK) is a comprehensive year-long support programme that aims to help vulnerable secondary school students build resilience and other protective factors.  This is achieved by assessing the mental health of students as they enter into secondary school, and then following up with targeted psychological support for those who need it. In addition, workshops in prevention education ensure all students receive support in developing positive well-being throughout their secondary school career.
