Sligo Leitrim HYLS provide schools in the area with personnel who engage with young people who may be experiencing difficulties during one-to-one meetings.
The mission of the HYLS is:
- To provide a sympathetic, confidential, non-judgemental and personal support to young people and their families with the objective of enhancing the young person’s future personal and social development and wellbeing.
- To provide a link between family, school and professional services (both in the government sector and the voluntary sector).
- The guiding principle that underpins all of our work is to place the young person at the centre of the decision-making process with the aim of allowing them to take responsibility for their own choices and actions.
The HYLS officer is available in Carrigallen Vocational School one day each week and she meets with students who have been referred to her. A teacher, member of management / Year Head may recommend a student for referral. The student and their parents / guardians are contacted and if everyone is in agreement, the student may attend for a session or a number of weekly sessions.
