Paul Nangle presented his minor thesis research, Who Does the Farming Community See as a Credible Mental Health Speaker? at the Teagasc Knowledge Transfer Conference. Inspiring day filled with insightful presentations on diverse research topics and impactful findings.
Piece in @irishexaminer today about research from the UCD Agri Mental Health Group 'Separate analysis also found twice as many male farmers, aged over 65, died by probable suicide than men of the same age who were not in farming.'

Our first Stakeholder Steering Group meeting was a resounding success. Excellent platform to introduce our teams and articulate our goals. Everyone shared their background and motivations for involvement. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs. Enthusiastic about the work that lies ahead!
We were delighted to receive funding from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine for our project entitled Farming Minds. This project will develop and test the effectiveness of a psychological intervention for farmers to target prevention and early intervention.

Aswell as the usual moustache growing in Movember, I’ll be running 100km over the course of the month so if you have anything to donate and support my efforts it would mean a lot❤️
Well lads I’m doing Movember this year in order to raise money for some great causes improving men’s health especially in the areas of mental health and suicide prevention. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated 👍 https://t.co/yUulQBIwXJ
