We didn’t shy away from the big questions at the first event of the new series of In The Psychologists’ Chair. Dr Tony Bates, founder and CEO of Headstrong, The National Centre for Youth Mental Health, spoke to a full house on the topic of “Who am I, where am I, and why am I here?”. Drawing on Buddhist parables, poetry and his own extensive experience in working with young people, Dr Bates spoke on the importance of waking up and walking into our own life. Life is that constant losing and finding of your way, he said, and while suffering is inevitable, how we manage it is key.

National College of Ireland is delighted to announce the return of the very popular lunchtime series In the Psychologists' Chair. The event series will cover topics such as the psychology of homicidal behaviour, the effects of loneliness on your heart and how to apply psychology to education.
