In the next installment of the TABOO! series, we will look at current research on the mental health difficulties affecting young people today, discuss how prejudice, stigma and discrimination around mental health can be alleviated by speaking openly about personal experiences and examine how artistic projects are opening up the conversation. 

Broadcaster Dil Wickremasinghe will host a panel featuring JP Swaine, co-founder and director of First Fortnight festival, Helen Coughlan, Clinical Research Fellow with the Department of Psychiatry at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and Irish artists Maser and Joe Caslin.
