Anne Boland was always a highly engaged and motivated officer in An Garda, but over time  she experienced a succession of traumatic and difficult events that lead to a decline in both her physical and mental health.  

In this episode, we talk about the challenges of connecting with those inside and outside emergency services, depression and isolation, and how the body gives us warning signs.  

Through Anne’s enduring quest for greater knowledge she shares how cultivating connection has helped her overcome depression and affect meaningful change in her force.
