WORKING THINGS OUT DVD

Working Things Out: A structured therapeutic and educational programme for adolescents on dealing with depression and other mental health problems

WTO is an interactive CD ROM/DVD that contains the personal stories of eleven adolescents who have managed difficult problems in their lives such as depression, bullying, eating problems and self-harm. The stories are illustrated by animation and graphics, narrated by the young people and backed up by mental health information and handouts for facilitators.

Working Things Out was co-scripted by the young people and coordinated by Eileen Brosnan, Carol Fitzpatrick and John Sharry, (mental health professionals at the Mater Hospital, Dublin) in collaboration with a group of animators and multimedia professionals.

The project was made possible with funding from the Parents Plus Charity, the Mater Foundation, the Northern Area Health Board, and The National Suicide Review Group.
The Working Things Out programme is delivered as part of the SPHE curriculum in secondary schools in Ireland. Please see www.sphe.ie for information, support and training
