About Us
Who We Are
Mind Emotional Nurturing integrates mental and emotional education into everyday learning.
Through training, resources, and the GREAT SCREAM Programme, we support secondary schools and community settings in building emotional literacy, self-awareness, and resilience as essential life skills, placing well-being at the heart of education.
What We Do
At Mind Emotional Nurturing, our work focuses on equipping educators and youth-facing professionals with practical tools to support young people’s emotional development across schools and community learning environments.
The GREAT SCREAM Programme (GSP)
At Mind Emotional Nurturing, we deliver the GREAT SCREAM Programme (GSP) — an evidence-based psycho-educational programme designed to support emotional well-being and mental resilience across education and community settings.
GSP supports young people aged 15–18, as well as the professionals who work with them, including educators, youth workers, and community leaders in schools, youth clubs, and senior-cycle education.

The GREAT SCREAM Programme – The Facilitator
-
This programme equips professionals working with young people to become coaching-informed facilitators using principles from Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and Cognitive Behavioural Coaching (CBC). Participants gain practical tools to support self-awareness, emotional regulation, goal-setting, and reflective thinking, and to confidently facilitate meaningful one-to-one and group discussions that promote resilience, emotional intelligence, and psychologically safe learning environments.

The GREAT SCREAM Programme – The Self-Manager
-
Provides a structured framework aligned with National Education guidelines, ensuring mental well-being programs meet national education standards. Offers intensive five-day training to prepare educators to teach CBC strategies as a Transition Year unit. The programme supports schools and community settings in co-designing and implementing sustainable, preventive mental well-being initiatives that place emotional development at the heart of learning.
-
By bridging emotional well-being, education, and community practice, the GREAT SCREAM Programme creates inclusive, supportive environments where young people can grow into confident, resilient, and self-aware individuals.
Why We Do It
The emotional and mental challenges facing young people today are increasing in both scale and complexity. Across Ireland, rising levels of anxiety, disengagement, and emotional distress among young people aged 15–18 highlight the urgent need for early, preventative, and skills-based mental well-being education — both in schools and in community settings.
Many existing supports are reactive and fragmented, often reaching young people only when difficulties have already escalated. We believe emotional well-being should be taught, practiced, and nurtured — just like any other life skill.
Our Why Is Simple
-
Because young people deserve more than academic outcomes.
-
Real learning happens when young people feel emotionally safe, understood, and supported — whether in classrooms, youth clubs, or community spaces.
-
-
Because professionals need practical, evidence-based tools.
-
Educators, youth workers, and community practitioners often want to help but lack accessible, structured frameworks. The GREAT SCREAM Programme provides practical tools that make emotional support part of everyday practice.
-
-
Because self-limiting beliefs undermine potential.
-
Fear of failure, avoidance, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome quietly hold many young people back. GSP helps young people recognise these patterns and develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and responding.
-
-
Because resilience is built through connection, not correction.
-
When emotional skills are embedded across education and community settings, young people develop confidence, independence, and emotional strength that lasts beyond adolescence.
-
At Mind Emotional Nurturing, we believe every young person and every professional supporting them deserves the skills to thrive, not just cope, in an increasingly complex world.
