By 7th November 2022No Comments

The HSE’s National Counselling Service (NCS), is currently recruiting for the Eden Programme.

Eden is an educational programme with a therapeutic element for people over the age of 18 years who have attempted or contemplated suicide.

The aim of the programme is to provide a safe space where participants can explore their experiences, learn skills to help them monitor and manage their mental health and build a range of supports appropriate to their needs with the ultimate aim of moving away from suicide as an option of choice in times of crisis.

This programme runs one morning a week for 26 weeks and the next programmes in Galway and Claremorris (face-to-face) will begin in January 2023, with a maximum of 16 participants per location.

Interviews for this programme will take place this month (November).

Participants can self-refer to the programme. To find out more call (091) 528030 email: [email protected] or click HERE.
