The aim of the event was, not only to launch the book, but to develop policy recommendations which we will share with the Minister and his Department. Thank you to everyone who spoke, attended and participated in making yesterday’s event such a success. 5/5
The evening finished with the launch of my new open access book ‘Irish University Students with Mental Health Difficulties'. I am particularly grateful to @MsetfiLab, @deirdre_desmond and @mshevlin23 who all spoke with warmth and depth about the book, its subject and impact. 4/5
Our expert panel discussion, skilfully moderated by Dr Shane Bergin @shanedbergin, explored the challenges and opportunities of supporting students with mental health difficulties in higher education and, together, reached a point of clarity and "hopefulness". 3/5
The keynote speaker for the event, Dr Lucy Johnstone, introduced us to the Power Threat Meaning Framework and considered how this groundbreaking framework might be applied in higher education settings. 2/5
Yesterday’s ‘Mental Health in Higher Education’ event and book launch at @RIAdawson was one to remember.

Delighted to receive a copy of this book on “spaces of mental health and wellbeing” in the post.
The wonderful Dr Sheena Hyland and I contributed a chapter on how the university as a lived space shapes students’ experiences and understandings of distress.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…🎅
How might Santy fit down the chimney? How fast does he need to travel? How many presents do the elves have to make? And might weather affect his journey? Tune to @RTERadio1 this Friday morning: I’ll be chatting to Claire Byrne.
