LIMERICK participants were in attendance at the Family Resource Centre National conference in Dublin.
The conference marked the publication of a research report on the experiences and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on children and families and the impact of Recovery and Resilience funded therapeutic supports and services in Family Resource Centres in Limerick and across the country.
In 2023, The National Recovery and Resilience Programme for Children grant provided one-off funding of €1,000,000 for therapeutic community supports in 83 Family Resource Centres across Ireland including Croom FRC, Northside FRC and Southill FRC in Limerick.
The funding was used to support 4,548 children and 3,820 adults in the aftermath of Covid-19 with 71% of FRCs reporting a decrease in their waiting lists for services like play therapy, one-to-one psychotherapy, and parenting workshops.
Croom Local Vocals performed at the conference.
