Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community
Child Protection and Family Support: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Ms Kate Duggan:
I might let Mr. Brophy talk about training for social workers and Ms Jordan about the particular programmes that are there. As the Senator said, the services lie with the HSE, but through our family resource centres programme, we fund a number of FRCs that offer counselling supports. Through CYPSCs, there are a number of initiatives targeting youth mental health in the Traveller community. I know that has been identified in areas. Where there are high incidences in particular communities, the CYPSCs respond to that.
