Seas Suas Participant
The Seas Suas Programme was developed by the Chaplaincy & Pastoral Care Service in the
University of Galway in 2014. The programme aims to promote awareness, empathy, well-being, and
bystander intervention both on campus and in the wider community. With contributions from
community organisations, Seas Suas covers a wide range of important topics such as: mental health,
alcohol and drugs, sexual violence, suicide prevention, peer-to-peer support, and relevant supports
services.
Through weekly interactive lectures, students will gain greater knowledge about challenging issues,
ways in which to respond, and the corresponding supports. These include strategies and skills for
effective helping, such as active listening and referral through safe intervention.
