Roscommon Comhairle na nÓg members were honoured to present the Listen Link initiative at Leinster House on April 15th following an invitation from Senator Gareth Scahill.

Listen Link was developed by members of Roscommon Comhairle na nÓg after young people identified mental health as a key issue during the 2023 Annual Youth Conference. Since then, members have worked together to shape the initiative and advocate for improved mental health supports for young people across County Roscommon. The presentation at Leinster House marked an important milestone for the group and provided an opportunity to share the work and progress of Listen Link at a national level.

Members were delighted with the strong turnout on the day, the positive feedback received and the opportunities that emerged from the presentation. The experience reflected the importance of creating spaces where young people’s voices can be heard and acted upon. Roscommon Comhairle na nÓg looks forward to continuing the development of Listen Link and supporting conversations around youth mental health in the county.
