Testimonials
“Studying in a postgraduate program in Mental Health Nursing at TCD. the most enjoyable experience is that I explored in depth the cross-cultural differences in mental health policy, psychiatric nursing, professional knowledge and skills. During the course, I noticed that Trinity’s professors worked hard to fight stigma and discrimination for people with mental illness and their families, which are huge obstacles to all forms of prevention, treatment, care, and support, as well as the wellbeing of society as a whole. It is a privilege to be a part of that effort.”
