Who We Are

We are Conor Nolan & Tiernan Harris, two young gentlemen with a passion for mental health advocacy. Coming from Cavan & Mayo respectfully, we have witnessed first hand the stigma surrounding mental illness, and the hush-hush nature with which we approach mental health on a local, provincial and national level.

In 2019, we made a promise that we would do our part to improve the mental health of Ireland’s youth. This began with a book idea for Conor, who became the published author of Normal in 2020. Since then, we have spoken on national radio, in newspapers, and in schools and colleges all over the country. Speaking from first hand experience on anorexia nervosa, anxiety and depression, we have brought great clarity to our audiences on these delicate matters and helped many young people to speak out on their own experiences.

Coming into 2024, we are proudly co-funded by the European Commission, and will use this great opportunity to allow us to continue to reach further youth groups all over Ireland.
