Actualise Academy formed in 2015. Pádraig, Rose and Mike came together to design in-house courses at the Actualise Psychology Clinic on the topic of Anxiety in Children. This followed on from the wave of enquiries we got from Teachers, Parents and other Professionals which were arriving in our inboxes on an almost daily basis. There was a common theme - mental health issues in children, parents and Teachers were on the increase, and reaching epidemic levels. Bringing together our collective experiences in clinical, teaching and applied settings, we began to design courses. In 2018 we ran EPV courses for Teachers and were so overwhelmed with the response that we had to close enrolment early!
