Great to see our recent @MICLimerick research on parenting while experiencing mental health challenges referenced in this article in the @irishexaminer Parents feeling safe to talk about these issues and ask for support is so important, thanks Colman

Congratulations to all of our MIC psychology undergraduate students who presented this weekend @PsychSocIreland All Ireland student congress - we are so proud of you all - our MICPsych Pugologists also had a fab time 🐾 ☀️ Many thanks to the organisers @PSI_SAG 👏
Proud to be involved in this research with @HSELive@tusla Clarecare & parent partners & @MICLimerick colleagues.
Parents really valued the opportunity to have their voices heard. So many important findings and as one participant noted:
"More discussions are needed about this"
Nice piece in @ClareChampion about the parents with lived experience who were part of the research team in our recent study on parenting while experiencing mental health challenges- these parents were instrumental in shaping the research - great to see them highlighted here 👏
Happy Earth Day! 🌍🧠

54% of parents who take medication for mental health challenges report their role as a parent wasn't included in discussions about their medication.
Proud to be involved in this new @MICLimerick study with @HSELive@tusla Clarecare & parent partners. So many important findings���️
This research feels particularly timely with recent launch of the Department of Health ‘Sharing The Vision: A mental health policy for everyone Implementation Plan 2025-2027’ given the findings highlight the importance of looking at wider family impact @PsychSocIreland
It is always a good feeling to see research go out into the world and this morning’s launch was particularly special for Suzanne Egan, Clara Horne and I as this was a genuinely collaborative piece with parents, @HSELive@tusla Clarecare and @MICLimerick https://t.co/f4wEpBxeT1
