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

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
