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".

Ag Eisteacht was founded by Maeve Hurley and Kathy Jones in 2001. Ag Eisteacht is affiliated to the UK Charity One Plus One.
