#93 The Power of Family Resource Centres
Manage episode 472140365 series 3447844
In this episode of the HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing podcast, host Fergal Fox discusses the crucial role of Family Resource Centres (FRCs) with Fergal Landy, CEO of the National Family Resource Centre Forum, and Shauna Diamond, National Programme Lead. They explore how FRCs support health and wellbeing in communities by offering services like parenting, family support, mental health initiatives, and social prescribing. The conversation highlights the importance of community engagement, addressing health inequalites, and fostering non-judgmental environments to address issues that are sometimes stigmatised such as gambling and period poverty. Strong and ongoing collaborations with organisations like the HSE and Tusla are discussed and how they enable the FRCs to support families and often the most vulnerable at community level.
