Bressie most recently published a book entitled, ‘Me and my Mate Jeffrey’, dedicated to his personal journey battling with a mental illness and has been a best-selling novel on the shelves for some time now. The book has helped to create a dialogue about mental illness nationwide.

Bressie is the co-founder of the website www.alustforlife.com and says that it’s “about exploring positive and proactive ways of improving your emotional wellness and helping you deal with whatever mental stresses you may go through.”

Bressie set up his own blog, “My 1000 hours”. The blog is focused on holistic fitness. The mental health guru posts regular simple and practical ways to deal with, manage and improve mental health.

The “1,000 hours” refers to Bressie’s aim of running that many hours, as he strongly encourages physical exercise as a form of improving one’s mental health, a fact tried and tested. Bressie visits Castletroy Park Hotel.s
