Conference - UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre's International Conference

REPPP Team Member Dr Jane Mulcahy will be presenting at this year's UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre's International Conference on 'Promoting Equality through Family Support'. 

Jane's presentation is on 'Supporting families in conditions of extreme adversity – how the Greentown Programme learned to work with complex realities'.

Jane's paper will provide a brief overview of the Greentown four programme pillars: Intensive Family Support, Network Disruption, Community Efficacy and Pro-Social Opportunities. The paper will discuss the value of having a reflective, iterative design process in place to respond to on-the-ground realities to augment the family intervention. Recommendations pertain to the importance of meeting participants’ basic physiological and safety needs for therapy readiness, and relationship-building for effective interagency collaboration to address this wicked problem.

The conference takes place on June 13th and 14th in the University of Galway. Full details can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eCiEEFx4
