Family Supports
We support parents and families in Ballyhaunis
Family Support Service
We support parents and families who are experiencing challenges at home, such as:
→ Managing children’s behaviour.
→ Communication or relationship difficulties.
→ Stressful situations or crises impacting family life.
Our goal is to work alongside families to create personalised support plans that build stronger, safer, and more nurturing homes.
We offer different levels of support:
→ Intensive in-home family support.
→ Drop-in information and advice service.
This service is free, confidential, and may involve other agencies where appropriate. Our Family Support Worker, Geraldine Glacken, leads this service.
Parenting Programmes
Our Family Support Worker is trained in evidence-based parenting courses, including:
→ Common Sense Parenting
→ Parenting When Separated
→ Circle of Security
→ Baby Massage
Programmes are delivered regularly in the Ballyhaunis area.
Meitheal Programme
We provide a local venue and support for the Meitheal Programme – a community-based way of helping families by bringing agencies and professionals together.
Through this process, a Lead Practitioner works with families to:
→ Identify strengths and needs.
→ Develop a support plan.
→ Coordinate access to services.
Our Family Support Worker is fully trained in Meitheal and regularly attends local meetings.
