Hi there! Welcome to my website.
(added 20th April 2012): Shine is one of Ireland’s most prominent mental health organisations, well known for its work in support of those experiencing mental health problems and their families and carers.
Shine publishes a monthly newsletter. The April 2012 edition of Shineonline monthly newsletter carries the following report regarding my recent workshop on Selfhood and its centrality to mental health recovery. My workshop was largely based on my new book: Selfhood: A Key to the Recovery of Emotional Wellbeing, Mental Health, and the Prevention of Mental Health Problems:
“The Shine Relatives' Recognition weekend took place in The Tullamore Court Hotel on the weekend of the 23rd-25th March 2012. This weekend was organised by Shine to give family members and carers a break away to relax and unwind. On Saturday morning Dr Terry Lynch, GP and psychotherapist gave a talk on recovery and spoke about his new book “Selfhood”. For over 10 years, Dr Lynch has worked exclusively in the field of mental health providing a nation-wide recovery-orientated service in Limerick. Feedback on his discussion was extremely positive and the majority of people learned a lot from his professional experience. He provided a lot of valuable advice.”
According to the Director of Shine John Saunders, also published in this newsletter:
“Welcome to the April edition of the Shine newsletter. We have a report on the Relatives' Recognition Weekend which was held at the end of March 2012 where many relatives availed of educational and recreational activities. The main workshop was conducted this year by Dr Terry Lynch and there was an overwhelming positive response to hear more from him. We are hoping over the next nine months or so to host a series of one day workshops around the country which will allow more people to explore the issue of recovery in the family.”
It is likely that I will be involved in these one-day workshops.
BOOK LAUNCH: Kathleen Lynch TD, Minister with responsibility for Mental Health, launched my new book SELFHOOD: A Key to the Recovery of Emotional Wellbeing, Mental Health and the Prevention of Mental Health Problems, at 8 pm on Friday, 27th January 2012, at the Shine Centre, 14a Washington Street, Cork.
I consider it quite an honour that the Minister with responsibility for the area covered in the book - mental health - would consider it appropriate to endorse the book by attending and speaking at the launch. Minister Lynch had often demonstrated hercourage and her commitment to truth, justice, and what is right, and I believe that her attending the launch is another example of this.
