We envision an education system where all children are engaged, inspired and are encouraged to become the very best they can be. However, we recognise that more school children than ever are presenting with significant emotional and behavioural challenges in the classroom. This impacts on their learning, educational achievement and ultimately their life chances. We know that educators want to help but any feel that they don’t have the training or support to meet children’s emotional needs. It is this need that inspired the vision of Desty. We want to empower and support educators to enable the whole-child development of students. With over 15 years experience Team Desty are passionate about what we do and why we do it. Our aim is to ensure that every school in Ireland and the UK has access to at least one Desty Mentor. We know it is a big plan but we believe in thinking BIG!
