Dear all,
We would be incredibly grateful if you could share the following with your networks: As part of our UCD PhD research study, parents of children aged 4–12 who experience anxiety are invited to take part in a confidential 1:1 Zoom interview. The study explores what parents need and prefer when engaging with digital mental health interventions. The interview lasts no more than 60 minutes, at a time that suits you.

Cork Mental Health Awareness Cycle.
On Saturday, March 7th, Cork rides for the conversations that are too often left unspoken. Cycle Against Suicide’s Cork Mental Health Awareness Cycle rolls out from Marina Market to help challenge mental health stigma, especially around men’s mental health, where 2 out of 3 suicides are male, and to encourage people into help seeking behaviour.
Let us create a safe space to talk, to listen, and to support one another. Open to all – men and women of all abilities. Come out, stand with us, and help change lives. Further details and registration are available at: https://eventmaster.ie/event/
Kind regards,
Caroline Lafferty
