It will be the first time that these services are available for free in the country.
Free counselling services are set to be rolled out to primary school children for the first time.
The 5-million euro pilot project will be in seven counties, and aims to help students impacted by the pandemic.
Schools will establish a panel of counsellors, while they'll also identify students it will benefit most.
