         Would you like to work with children and their families in a trauma informed way?
        Barnardos is Ireland’s leading children’s charity for over 60 years and has been working in the Tallaght area since 1980.
        Barnardos’ mission is to deliver services and work with families, communities, and our partners to transform the lives of vulnerable children who are affected by adverse childhood experiences.
        The Barnardos Child & Family Centre, Bawnlea provides a trauma-informed family support service, which operates a keyworker system for children and their families, assigned by the case manager.
        The Centre mostly provides services for families presenting with complex needs, impacted by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the majority of referrals are from the Tusla Child & Family Agency, although parents and can also self-refer.
        Barnardos works in close partnership with families, statutory bodies and voluntary agencies, to bring about better outcomes for children, using a mind, heart and body approach.
        Service interventions include:
        
         Just Right State Programme: An intervention to facilitate children to learn how to self-regulate their emotional states and actions, and also to enable parents to provide an enriched environment in their home in order to promote connected parent-child engagement.
         Non-Violent Resistance (NVR): An evidence-based programme to facilitate parents to address in a safe way: incidents of aggressive, violent or controlling behaviours from their child or young person.
         Partnership with Parents (PwP): An evidenced based and home-based, individual parenting programme to support parents to develop healthy relationships with their children.
         Solution Focused / Brief Intervention: A solution-focused approach to facilitate positive change for parents and their families.
         This Is Me: A one-to-one programme for children aged 6 to 12 years, to promote resilience, well-being and the capacity to grow and develop in the context of adverse events.
         Advocacy support: A time-limited process to facilitate parents to access supports and provisions within their community in order to address their own unmet needs and / or to access services and resources on behalf of their child, to address their child’s needs.
         Practical Family Support: A time-limited provision of support, advocacy work and crisis intervention focused on improving the living environment and if required, practical parenting inputs, to facilitate the development of home management skills for parents.
