Psychosocial and Mental Health Impact of Ireland's Defective Concrete Crisis

Description

All-island Social Security Network (AISSN) webinar on the 'Psychosocial and Mental Health Impact of Ireland’s Defective Concrete Crisis'. The talk examined elevated mental health rates among affected adults, the emotional and behavioural wellbeing of children, and how the ongoing stress of this crisis is affecting people’s mental health, where safety fears, housing and financial insecurity are playing a role. The findings highlight that the nature of these stressors are chronic and relentless in nature for those affected, and therefore could be considered a public health crisis with important implications for policy review/change.
