Hi there, this month’s featured news item is our submission to the Minister in relation to our review of Caranua (click below) and what we want to see changed. Equally importantly is an opinion piece on the future of Survivors - should we know be looking at life long enhanced medical care? (scroll to bottom) Also in this issue is details of ongoing events, key changes in staff, details of educational activities and an introduction to new Board members.
Educational Opportunity
Did you know ROP/SC has a dedicated Education facilitator in Cork? Pat has been working with Survivors, specifically for over 15 years and creates courses and classes just for Survivors. Computers, woodwork, Art, jewellery making are just some of the classes we are running. Why don't you find out more - it dosent have to be sitting in a classroom.
Social Events in ROP/SC
ROP/SC runs Social events throughout the year in Cork, Limerick and Waterford. They have become so famous that getting your name in early is the best way of availing of them. Recent events include, a VIP tour of Waterford Crystal, a weekly breakfast club, Christmas Dinner and a visit to Hook Lighthouse.
Meet the Team
Over the last number of Months, ROP/SC have been busy adding to our Volunteer and Staff team. Alongside this we have added two new Board members who have been instrumental in developing ROP/SC into a World class service for Survivors.
Friendly Call Back Service
This is an invaluable Service to the 50 Individuals who use it in our Three Centres in Ireland. It involves a local member of our team who calls a Survivor once a week at an agreed time to give them updates and to see how they are doing. If you are interested or know anybody that would benefit from this. Take a look and see how to apply to receive it.
Patrick Cleary - Waterford
As part of our ongoing commitment to improving our staff, a big CONGRATULATIONS to Patrick Cleary on completing his Diploma in Mental Health & Community Studies with the Open University. A fantastic achievement and one that we are all extremely proud of!
Thanks for reading,
Micheál, Director of Services
