The Family Resource Centre

This diagram shows the range of programmes that the Family Resource Team aims to provide to families and individuals in the community. The Team also strives to respond to new and emerging needs in the local community as appropriate. The focus is on identifying the strengths and skills of families, individuals and the community at an early stage and building on these to support the future development and potential of individuals, families and the wider community.

The Family Resource Centre Team provides programmes and supports that are targeted, needs-led and inclusive to families and individuals across the lifespan.

Family Support and Community Development are the primary focus of the work of the Family Resource Centre Team. The Team aims to support families in the community to identify their family and local needs, to develop holistic responses and to enhance individual and family participation in wider community life.

Key to the work is a strong focus on empowering and encouraging families and individuals to participate and be proactive in the decisions that impact their lives and the lives of those in their community This approach of working with people fosters a collective rather than an individual approach to tackling problems. There is a strong emphasis on early intervention and preventative support.

The work of the Family Resource Centre Team is funded through Tusla, the Child and Family Agency
