Eoin’s main professional interests include:

– Occupational Trauma (humanitarian and military applications).
– Clinical capacity-building of staff.
– The use of ‘scalable interventions’ to enhance mental health service provision (e.g. ‘Problem Management Plus’).

He consults with DIGNITY’s excellent local partner organizations – such as Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group (KHPG) – to ensure that their staff are equipped to meet the challenges they face as part of their important work.
