Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community

Child Protection and Family Support: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Maria Joyce:

It was on enhanced health supports. I cannot answer in any definitive way on whether I am aware of enhanced health supports. I have a sense that there probably are not but it is something we could check. If you are looking at enhanced health supports, one of those areas should be counselling supports. We know that other than the Traveller counselling service, which has a national remit but is resource-limited, wider counselling services and psychiatric supports are not culturally competent.
