In 2019, I experienced the devastating loss of my daughter, who struggled with mental health until she passed away at the age of 20. To honor her memory and help others facing similar challenges, I founded the charity GivBak to provide mental wellness training programs. Witnessing the positive impact of our training on adults inspired me to focus on prevention and education, particularly in Northern Ireland, where there is an urgent need to address high rates of mental health issues in secondary schools.

Through extensive research and dedication, we have created the "Taking In Mind" program. This program offers valuable support to teachers and empowers young minds to take charge of their own mental well-being. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from teachers at our current pilot program in a secondary school is a testament to the program's impact.
