About Planet Youth Cavan Monaghan
The Planet Youth model has been introduced to Cavan and Monaghan through an interagency committee, made up of representatives from a number of Statutory and Community based organisations, who have a remit for children and young people. Together, the Planet Youth Implementation group has initiated the projects needs led, bottom-up approach that will see data collated directly from young people, providing us with information on the lives and lifestyle of our young people. Co -funded by 10 local partners, our Memorandum of Understanding for implementation of the Model was for 5 years 2021 to 2026 inclusive. The Icelandic Centre of Research and Social Studies (ICRSA) of the University of Reykjavik collated our local data and forwarded it to our research partners in the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland.
It is planned to continue working from 2026 onwards with our partners to collect, analyse and use data in this model to plan and implement interventions and programs to enhance the wellbeing of our young people in the ways told to us by them.
