COACHING NEWS (WK 10 2018) 
A.   Club Coach Information Session + Jigsaw Presentation : Tuesday 06 March
One of the areas that our Coaching Committee discussed last autumn was to provide information to our coaches on the practical aspects of our club.
We have prepared a short presentation which we will run through with our coaches on 06 March commencing at 07.45pmin the Hyde.

Immediately after the Info Session, Sinead O Brien (Jigsaw Roscommon) will speak with us. Jigsaw Roscommon is part of the National Jigsaw network which is an organisation that supports young people’s mental health. As well as providing a service for 12-25 year olds to receive support in relation to mental health concerns, Jigsaw also provide support and information to young people, adults, communities and clubs who would like to increase their knowledge of and ability to support young people’s mental health.
 
In response to an increasing number of sports coaches approaching us with concerns around the mental health of the young people they work with, Jigsaw has developed a talk called ‘One Good Coach’.
Following the talk participants will:-
 ·         Have a greater understanding of Mental Health
·         Have a greater understanding of the importance of their role as a ‘One Good Adult’.
·         Have a greater awareness of how to promote and support young people’s mental health in their role as a coach.
·         Learn about their local Jigsaw and how young people can access the service.
