Health & Well being Resources: Cork County Council 's Teen Talks

Cork County Council’s TeenTalks events, designed to support teenagers with their Health & Wellbeing , have been postponed due to COVID-19, which is unfortunate as it is now more important than ever to communicate.

The TeenTalks series was initially designed to support teenagers with their Health & Wellbeing, particularly Mental Health. There were three “Teen Talks” for transition year students and three associated “Gen Z” events for parents scheduled for this month to be held at venues across Cork County. While the events had to be postponed, a series of video events will now be hosted online. The events will focus on the original intention of Health & Wellbeing for Teens. They will now also be expanded to focus on the Health & Wellbeing of adults too, especially in this challenging time.

This initiative forms part of Cork County Council’s COVID-19 Community Support Programme which has been established by the Council in response to the current pandemic. Further information on the programme can be found at www.corkcoco.ie

The speakers in the on-line seminars will include;

• Grace O’Rourke (Special Forces Hell Week Winner), 

• Gerry Hussey (Performance Psychology Consultant & Motivational Speaker)  

• Pat Divilly (Fitness Expert & Entrepreneur) 

• Graham McCormack (Former MMA Athlete & Mindfulness Coach).

• Elaine Crowley (TV Presenter, Virgin TV)

• Jennifer Barry (Actress, The Young Offenders)

These inspirational speakers will speak to teenagers and the entire community on topics relating to personal Health & Wellbeing

TeenTalks are organised by Cork County Council and funded by Healthy Ireland through the Council’s three Local Community Development Committees
