In the second webinar and podcast of this series, we will talk to Niamh Doherty about another elephant in the room: mental health.
50% of 18 to 29-year-olds in Ireland report feeling low levels of mental wellbeing. But how often do we truly talk about it?
In our upcoming episode, The Elephant That Felt Alone, we’ll sit down with Niamh Doherty to explore the unspoken realities of mental health among young people today. From the pressure to appear like you're living your "best life" on social media to feeling overwhelmed by college, friendships, and an uncertain future—many of us feel alone in these struggles, even though they’re more common than we think.
You’re not alone if you're questioning whether things will get better. Let’s break the silence and talk about what’s really going on behind the scenes.
