World Mental Health Day is being marked today with people being encouraged to talk openly about their mental well-being.

1 in 5 people in Ireland currently have, or have experienced a mental health problem.

This year's theme is Mental Health in the workplace, with the overall objective of raising awareness of mental health issues.

Fiona Brennan is a renowned clinical hypnotherapist and positive psychology expert. She is giving a TEDx talk ‘Your Subconscious Power- Learn to Parent Yourself’, in Tallaght this week on the subject of the subconscious mind and neuroplasticity. 

She spoke with Pat Kenny on this area of addressing mental health issues. 

You can tune in to The Pat Kenny Show weekdays from 9am-12pm online, on our apps or on 106-108FM.
