Erasmus+ Youth Worker Mobility, hosted by Involve CLG, an Erasmus+ accredited organisation in Ireland.

This programme brings together youth workers from eligible EU countries who work with indigenous young people or those experiencing disadvantage, including Irish Traveller youth and Sámi youth.

Participants will take part in a 3-day intensive training programme in Slane, Co.Meath Ireland, with 2 additional travel days, for a total of 5 days. Through creative workshops in digital storytelling, podcasting, and basic game design, youth workers will gain practical tools to support cultural pride, youth voice, and meaningful inclusion in their communities.

We invite committed youth workers who are motivated to learn, share practice, and bring new methods back to their organisations.

Traveller Pride Week 2026 is coming up this May, and with many organisations planning events across the country, the No Shame - Traveller Youth Mental Health Project would be delighted to get involved.

We are available to attend events with our Giant No Shame game and an information stand. We also have merchandise and board games that we can give out on the day. It’s a great way to start conversations about youth mental health in a fun and engaging way.

Christmas is about family, togetherness, and tradition but it can also be a tough time. If you’re feeling stressed, low, or carrying more than you let on, you’re not alone. There’s no shame in how you’re feeling.

No shame in needing space.
No shame in talking things out.
No shame in asking for support.

This Christmas, be kind to yourself and look out for your own. A check-in with a friend or family member can make a real difference 💜

From us at No Shame, we’re wishing you all a safe, supportive, and hopeful Christmas. You matter, and you’re never alone.
Merry Christmas 🎄

“Proud to have joined Thomas Joyce today as a panelist on Involve CLG’s No Shame podcast. We discussed Traveller inclusion and how tools like the STATUS Toolkit can support youth services to create, monitor and evaluate meaningful Traveller engagement.
Thanks to host Patrick McDonagh and technical advisor Mary Lennon for facilitating such an important conversation. Looking forward to hearing the final edited version in the coming weeks!” - Cathy Lynch, Involve CLG No Shame- Traveller Youth Mental Health Project Youth Work Ireland Meath

Mental health issues are particularly stigmatised within both the Traveller community and Irish society. Mental health service providers often lack the cultural competence to address Traveller mental health needs effectively.
Collaboratively developed by College members, Traveller representatives, mental health professionals and other interested parties, this document aims to:
Raise awareness of Travellers as an Irish ethnic group
Raise awareness of their specific additional and often complex issues around mental health problems
To offer practical, culturally sensitive solutions to improve mental health services for Travellers.

We’re proud to have been part of the development team behind a new position paper highlighting the mental health needs of the Irish Traveller community.

This collaborative paper, developed with Traveller representatives, College members, and mental health professionals, sets out practical, culturally sensitive recommendations to improve support for Travellers’ mental health.
