Kerry Children and Young People service committee developed this THINK Teenage Health in Kerry booklet to provide information on youth mental health, and issues that affect young people. It highlights the services that are available when help is needed.
The THINK booklet was developed by the health professionals on the Youth Mental working group in consultation with young people via the schools, youth-reach centres, and Kerry Comhairle na nÓg.
The topics addressed in the THINK Booklet are:
What is Mental Health? Challenges to Mental Health, Depression, Anxiety & OCD, Eating Disorders, Relationships & Sexuality, Bullying & Abuse, Alcohol, Drugs, Psychosis, Self-harm & Suicide and Grief.

The booklet recognizes the wide range of mental health issues and identifies the various services and supports available.
THINK stresses the importance of finding the ‘right’ help i.e. when difficulties are severe – specialist help may be required.
It signposts young people and their parents, carers, and teachers to their GP, family and other health professionals and support services so as to ensure that young people access the right level of support.
