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.

Looking forward to chatting to Claire Byrne on @RTERadio1 in the next few minutes about the science Santy might be using to get the job done!
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.

My friend, Siobhán, has set up a new business selling customised handbags that she's designed herself here in Dublin and they are handcrafted in Portugal. Link to her website: bit.ly/4i31w0F
She's doing a special offer for Black Friday only to get 20% when you sign up to her Newsletter (it only goes out once a week, so you won't be bombarded!). Link to her website: bit.ly/4i31w0F
