In this deeply moving episode of The Parting Glass, we sit down with integrative psychotherapist and founder of the Stephen Moylan Foundation, Susan Moylan. With over 21 years of experience supporting young people’s mental health, Susan brings professional insight and personal resilience to a conversation about love, loss, and the power of healing.Susan speaks openly about the heartbreaking loss of her husband Sean in 2003 and her beloved son Stephen in 2019, a tragedy that inspired the creation of the Stephen Moylan Foundation, a community-led initiative offering therapeutic support to children and young people who have lost a parent.
We talk about grief, family, the long road through trauma, and how Susan has transformed pain into purpose by helping others navigate their darkest moments.
The Stephen Moylan Foundation provides counselling and bereavement supports for children aged 5 to 18, as well as guidance for schools, caregivers, and communities. Based in Dublin 11, 9, and 7, the foundation’s goal is to expand its reach across Dublin and eventually nationwide.
