The Amber Flag Initiative

Pieta’s Amber Flag initiative promotes positive mental health and wellbeing by encouraging schools and communities to create safe, supportive and inclusive environments. As part of our Amber Flag work, Portlaoise Institute, through its Student Council, held a monthly walk to Square Coffee to promote positive mental health, connection and wellbeing among students. This initiative encouraged students to take time out, get active, talk openly and support one another in a relaxed and friendly setting
