The Association of Teacher Education Centres in Ireland (ATECI), working in collaboration with Headstrong and the SPHE, has secured funding for the development of an initiative which aims to involve post–primary teachers nationwide in an ‘awareness raising programme’ on the issue of teenage mental health. It is envisaged that this initiative will support schools in their development of a whole-school approach in the promotion of positive mental health for all as outlined in the recent DES publication Well – Being in Post Primary Schools.
The initiative aims to involve all post primary sectors (Voluntary, VEC, Community and Comprehensive). The roll–out of the initiative to schools will be facilitated by the Network of Education Centres. Initially each Full-time Education Centre will recruit 3 teachers in the period May-August 2013 to train as ‘lead facilitators’. Two days training and a 1-day review will be provided early in the 2013/2014 Autumn Academic term for those chosen, with full substitution where required. These newly trained lead facilitators will promote and deliver an awareness programme (2 sessions of 3 hours each) in out-of-school time for post-primary teachers for their local full-time and part-time Education Centre catchment areas through a series of workshops to be delivered during the remainder of 2013/early 2014. Details of this stage will be forwarded to all schools early in the Autumn term, 2013.
Given their breadth and depth of experience and expertise in this area, Headstrong and the SPHE Support Service, in collaboration with NEPS and the HSE, are leading on the development of the content and delivery of the training. The trained facilitators then act as lead facilitators to promote and deliver the awareness programme for post-primary teachers in their own Education Centre catchment area through a series of workshops to be delivered during 2013/2014 Academic year.
Q. Does booking a course on the ATECI website guarantee a place?
A. No - it is only an inital enquiry, your Education Centre will be informed by email of your interest and should make contact with you to finalise your placement.
Q. What is an RSS feed?
A. An RSS feed is short for Really Short Syndicate. It can help you keep up to date with changes on the website. You can subscribe to the ATECI RSS feed using a special reader such as feedburner. This will send you messages whenever the ATECI website is updated.
Q. Why should I register on the site?
A. Registration allows you to contribute to the forum and respond to ATECI polls.

Members of the ATECI Executive and Network Delegates attending the Annual General Meeting in Laois Education Centre. May 2009.
Education Centres (originally Teachers’ Centres) have a particular remit under the Education Act (1998). In this context they respond to the System’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) agenda on behalf of the Department of Education and Skills and to the professional development needs of teachers, school management and parents at local and regional levels. Education Centres are Statutory bodies, funded by the Teacher Education Section of the Department of Education & Skills and are managed by voluntary Management Committees elected annually.
The ATECI promotes their role & the role of the Network nationally and internationally.
