AWARE
ACCORD DUBLIN
Caring for Marriage
ACCORD Dublin urgently needs men and women to deliver Marriage Preparation Courses. Perhaps you are interested or know someone who might be suitable for this work.
If you are interested you are invited to attend one of our Information Evenings.
For more information please telephone Mary on 478 4400 or email marriagepreparation@dublin.accord.ie
Throughout the diocese, ACCORD Dublin offers:
Everyone benefits from a short break or a holiday, even more
so when a family has a child with learning disabilities (mental
handicap). Breakaway is a family placement scheme, run by St John of God
Carmona Services in Glenageary and other caring agencies, which involves 'host
carers' in the community taking such a child into their home for a break. Host
carers have found the experience demanding but very rewarding, and the parents
have had the opportunity of a short break from caring, and the chance to spend
time with their other children. There are 133 'host carers' in the Eastern and
North Eastern region at present but there are approximately 1,600 children under
19 with moderate or severe learning difficulties, so only about eight per cent
of them have been able to enjoy these breaks. Break Away Social workers, who provide assessment, training
and on-going support to 'host carers' are currently looking for people and
families who would be interested in becoming carers. Social worker Beata Drewniak is the person to contact at
St John of God Carmona Services if you feel you would like to become involved.
