Award-winning mental health charity A Lust for Life, co-founded in 2015 by Niall ‘Bressie’ Breslin, is launching a new six-part podcast series, “It All Works Out” created by the class of covid-19 – who have had – and continue to have – an unprecedented and traumatic year.
The six-part series is created by leaving cert students, for leaving cert students: to help the class of Covid19 deal with the uncertainty of their exam year, understand the grief they have faced and will help with the transition into college without the ‘coming of age’ milestones associated with the Leaving Cert.
Each episode explores different issues, from coping with the unknown, to exploring the opportunity to reform the leaving cert, to speaking with people who took alternative paths to their careers; and is hosted by leaving cert student and Deputy President of ISSU Luke Casserly.
The series features contributions from leaving cert students around Ireland and draws on a team of experts to explore how to cope and move forward in these difficult times. The series sets out to equip young people with both a voice and tools to facilitate their resilience; centering their experience.
Luke Casserly joined Dermot & Dave this morning to chat about his results and revealed that he was going to celebrate by having dinner with his parents.
