On 11th October we travelled to the RDS for Zeminar, a conference about Well Being and Mental Health. There were many very interesting speakers such as Blindboy, Steven Byrne, Nicole Ryan and Eoghan McDermott. Their topics were mental health, staying safe on line, drug use and its affects, the power of the Irish language.
There were also many exhibition stands promoting various colleges, youth organisations and services. A particularly interesting one was 'Cycle against Suicide'. This event raises awareness about the importance of caring for your mental health in a very positive way. Overall TY students found this event to be very helpful and it was a very valuable experience. by Finn Bolton Dowling, Adam Fanning and Mark Muravyov Comments are closed.
