A needs assessment is conducted with each group. Methods used by the facilitators were as creative and participative as possible. Also the Spiritual Health dimension is something we are now paying particular attention to (Christian action page) This work will be based on the YMCA's understanding of Christian Values, Christian Social Action, Unity & Diversity & Faith as a Journey.

Several years ago we, with the County YMCAs, participated in a new National Youth Service Health Promoting Initiative, sponsored by the Departments of Health & Education and by the National Youth Council of Ireland. This initiative required a total involvement of all participating organisations over a two year period in examining related policies, programmes, structures and operating environment. One of the programme outcomes for us was a total rethink of our Health Education strategy. Health in its totality is now our aim, not a specific problem area!
