Ag Eisteacht, in partnership with front-line practitioners seeks to improve the well-being of children and families in

Ireland.

Information about your organisation / company:

Ag Eisteacht seeks to improve the lives of children and family members using evidence-based training and an emphasis on early intervention.

The aim of our work in Ag Eisteacht is to highlight opportunities for early intervention in the area of family relationships, focusing on times of transition e.g. becoming a couple, childbirth, becoming parents, to mention a few of the well documented stress points in the family life-cycle. Recent research and policy developments acknowledge the important links between the quality of parents' relationships, child outcomes and the "need for an integrated whole-family approach for practitioners working across a range of disciplines".
