About the programme
Every year, 100 students from across Ireland take part in the TY Programme, with 20 students participating in a week-long placement at a time.
Students engage in approximately five sessions each day, focusing on various aspects of mental health. They also get to take part in a mock multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting.
Based in St Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin 8, the programme runs between 10am and 2pm from Monday to Friday, with 45 minutes for lunch - provided in the SPUH café - each day.
Each May, all of the students who have completed the programme are invited back to SPUH for a graduation ceremony with a special guest speaker. All students receive a graduation certificate and leave the programme empowered to act as mental health ambassadors in both their schools and local communities.
