Experience in the Mental Health sector is a requirement in the Doctorate of Ed Psych @MaryButlerTD & many qualified trainee Educational Psychologists work in this field! Feeling under-appreciated and misunderstood as I head to my placement in Mental Health services tomorrow!

[Aoife Mulrooney @AoifeMulrooney]

Lack of awareness and understanding from the Minister of Mental Health @MaryButlerTD. Trainee Educational & Child Psychologist are eligible to work in the areas of Child Psychology (primary care & CAMHS) when qualified, and also complete unpaid placements during our training.

@MaryButlerTD @fiannafailparty Hi Mary as a trainee Educational Psychologist on placement in Primary Care working with youths I would love to get clarity over what you mean by funding for Counselling & Psychology Trainees?

[Nessa Farrell @NessaFarrell2]

Why are trainee Educational Psychologists the only professional psychology doctorate not being funded? We too are working across CDNTS, CAMHS & Primary Care, working with youths in areas of wellbeing & mental health! @JMcGuinnessTD @JenMurnaneOConn

[Nessa Farrell @NessaFarrell2]

@fiannafailparty @JenMurnaneOConn Will any of this educational investment be used to fund Trainee Educational & Child Psychologists working for free in NEPS, Primary Care, CDNT etc. so they can continue to support parents, children with AEN & school staff?

[Nessa Farrell @NessaFarrell2]

@SimonHarrisTD @JPPhelan Would love to seek clarity over why Trainee Counselling Psychs were funded and not trainee Educational & Child Psychologist. Great devp for Counselling Psychs but we need equity! We are doing the same work?

[Dr. Eddie Murphy @dreddiemurphy]

Educational psychology trainees need equity immediately. Time for @PsychSocIreland to push hard again ... #NoOneLeftBehind
