Services
The success of Fresh Start programmes require all staff to be actively engaged in bringing about improvements, whether in terms of client development, or service delivery. As we develop and grow, we will be able to offer our staff more opportunities to develop and grow with us.
Fostering Service
Fresh Start is pleased to announce that it is developing a comprehensive Foster Care Service in Ireland in conjunction with its existing range of therapeutic, family support and residential services for children and young people. Fresh Start Fostering Services (FFS) welcomes all enquirers interested in foster care, irrespective of race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability or marital status. We aim to work in partnership with the HSE Children & Families Services, the children and young peoples’ parents and families and other agencies to promote the health, welfare and well-being of all children and young people placed in our care.
Learn MoreResidential Care
Fresh Start provides an integrated range of services tailored to suit each child and young person's needs including individual and multi-occupancy Residential Care. We adopt a holistic approach to planning care programmes, which are focused on developing the whole child, rather than simply problem-solving. As children and young people progress, we are able to offer continuity of care within our resources, from high dependency to independent support. We aim to work in partnership with other agencies, both statutory and independent, to achieve this.
Learn MoreTherapeutic Services
A number of professional services are endemic to each of the children and young people’s care plans who reside with Fresh Start. We provide a variety of direct and indirect services including psychiatry, forensic, clinical and educational psychology, occupational, speech and language and fitness therapy. Other therapeutic services are also available depending on the specific needs of the young person. We provide support to assist children and young people in addressing the psychological, social, emotional, academic and/or behavioural needs.
