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.
