Your Story

Your story is a project by quaker service that’s focus is to help young

people on mental health and gives them a funnel to express their
problems and struggles and anything at may be bothering them. This is
to help young people with their mental health.
We had invited Rory Doherty and two people that was in “your story”
project to come down to the college so they could tell us what your
story is and tell us some of their own personal story's. As we were
planning on doing a project on mental illness, we jumped on the
opportunity to work with Rory and Gerard to tell history.
Quaker Service’s work has always been founded on a belief in the
worth of every person and a commitment to speak truth to power, no
matter how tough that truth may be.
“The families and young people we work with tell us that violence,
poverty and pain are still an everyday experience, 20 years on from the
Good Friday Agreement. We wanted to create a space where they
could tell their own stories, frankly and freely, to decision-makers.
Often it is young people and women who bear the brunt of the legacy
of the Troubles and today’s social problems yet are least likely to be
heard by those with power and influence to make a change”.
