It was a great pleasure for the School of
Nursing, Dublin City University
to host the second annual
Health4Life
(Sláinte Saoil) conference.
The focus of this conference was psychosocial health. It was
entitled 'Thinking, Feeling, Being: Critical Perspectives and
Creative Engagement in Psychosocial Health'. The conference provided
an opportunity for practitioners, service users, carers, artists,
academics and researchers to present innovative practice, research
and lived experience relative to psychosocial well-being.

The Hill of Tara
The picture of
The Hill of Tara was taken by Michael
Slavin, author of "The Book of Tara" (1996, Wolfhound Press). This
site was the ancient seat of the High Kings of Ireland and in Irish
mythology was the dwelling place of the gods. The Irish name
Teamhair na Rí literally means "Tara of the Kings". |
