In this episode I sit down with Róisín Cormack, a psychology student in Maynooth University. Róisín is also a Crisis volunteer at 50808 and is the PRO of the Maynooth Mental Health Society. In addition to this Róisín is also involved with Mind the Mind Ireland, a mental health awareness campaign that's aimed at helping young students become aware of their own mental health needs.

In this chat we talk about Róisíns own Leaving Cert experience along with how she's finding college. We also talk about different techniques we can use such as breath work to control our brains state and either calm us down or energise us. Róisin also outlines various resources available online that can help guide such practises or others like journaling.

We also talk about Róisíns experience of working on the helplines for over 200 hours now at this stage and what she has learned from all of those experiences. Overall this was a very insightful podcast for me and one that I learned a good bit from myself especially with regards to the control neurologically you can have over the mind through your control of your breath.
