What is our Advisory Committee?
The Walk in My Shoes (WIMS) Advisory Committee is a collection of 40 individuals from three different groups who guide WIMS by making recommendations and providing a fresh perspective on our mental health initiatives, resources and events.
The three groups represented are:
- Teachers/ School Staff
- Parents
- Students
The Committee changes every academic year.
-
How do I become a member of the committee?
If you are interested in being on our committee for the 2020/21 academic year please email info@walkinmyshoes.ie to register your interest
-
What's involved in being a member of the committee?
We are mindful of how busy students, teachers and parents are and we will not ask anything that would be considered too much of a time commitment.
If you are on the Advisory Committee, you’ll essentially be a member of our online forum
- We will email you ideas or links to drafts of new Walk in My Shoes resources and ask you for your valuable feedback and input
- We will keep you up to date with an email every month/2 months on WIMS developments and plans
- We will ask you to keep us informed of your needs; Let us know what it is that you want/need in your school to assist in your mental health promotion lessons. This could be further resources, opportunities to collaborate or something new entirely)
