In this powerful episode of *The Long Way Back*, we sit down with Tammy Dunahey, a public speaker and advocate from Finglas, Dublin, who has dedicated her life to helping others navigate the challenges of addiction, mental health, and adversity. Raised by her grandparents and having spent time in foster care, Tammy grew up in a family affected by addiction and incarceration. Yet, through it all, she emerged as a force for change and healing in her community. Tammy shares her incredible story of resilience, from struggling in school to excelling in college, and how she now serves on the Board of Directors for both the Mental Health Commission and Jigsaw, championing the well-being of young people. Tammy’s message is one of hope and understanding: "Everyone does the best with what they have in that moment." Her story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of giving back.
