We didn't do it alone! At our launch last Friday, we took the time to thank our amazing TYOS Project partners and sponsors including the Irish Research Council, Doras,
and Narrative 4 Ireland. We couldn't have done it without all the support across University of Limerick departments from University of Limerick Department of Psychology, the EDI team especially Dr Marie Connolly, the UL journalism team highlighting Drs Fergal Quinn, Peter O'Connor and Henry Silke and last but very much not least, our friends and colleagues in AHSS and MLAL (thanks Liam!)

"You are the storyteller and the story told". Our fantastic TYOS Project team members presenting their research and telling their own stories at our project launch last weekend 👏👏

And here we go! On Saturday, we had our first training about producing media content. Inspiring session about writing for media with Peter O'Connell from University of Limerick School of Journalism and brainstorming about podcasting creation with our TYOS team. Thank you Peter for sharing with us your experience and expertise!

The second session of our TYOS Project training program focused on story telling. It is a privilege to follow the Narrative 4 approach and be responsible for telling someone else's story. Resilience comes to the fore with our amazing new team members, ably guided by our own Maria and Anita as the facilitators 🙌
