The toolkit focuses on the social, academic and financial aspects of the move into further and higher education
BBC News NI South East ReporterIn addition to a new course in a new place, the move often comes with a fresh wave of freedoms, temptations and challenges.
It focuses on the social, academic and financial aspects of the move into further and higher education, and also directs young people towards relevant supports.Launching the initiative was All-Ireland winning GAA footballer Oisín McConville who has spoken openly about the effect problem gambling had on his younger years."A lot of what they hear is focused on education, exams, results and choices of further education," he said.
The impact social media has had on younger generations has created a sentiment that previous mistakes can stay with a young person in the long term."A lot of it is lost [the right to make mistakes] and that if you make one mistake it will stay with you for the rest of your life," he explained.
