Check out this Wexford and Community based rehabilitation project!

The Cornmarket Project was established in 1999 and is part of Wexford Local Development. It is a community-based treatment and rehabilitation project offering support to people in recovery from addiction and to those coming from a background of criminality. The mission statement of the project is ‘To reduce substance misuse, criminality and social exclusion in County Wexford by providing a range of best practice evidence based programmes.’

The project is located in the South East corner of Ireland and operates from four geographic locations across County Wexford: Wexford Town, Gorey, Enniscorthy and New Ross. The project’s thirteen separate programmes and services are delivered by a team of 32 people and range from low threshold practical supports for clients who are homeless and sleeping rough i.e. showers, laundry facilities, hot food provision and advocacy services, through to accredited training programmes, progression routes and employment opportunities.

The Solace Café (Crisis Café) is finally opening!

Gateway want to let you know about job opportunities that include roles for people with lived experience.

Aware, as community partner, in conjunction with the HSE and St. John of God Community Mental Health Services, are recruiting for a variety of new roles for the new, long awaited Solace Café, which is planned to open the end of February 2024.

The Solace Café (Crisis Café) will provide an out-of-hours, non-clinical, friendly, and supportive service on 4 evenings a week from 6-10 pm for people in psychological distress. It will support individuals and their family members/carers to deal with an immediate crisis and to plan safely drawing on their strengths, resilience, and coping mechanisms to manage their mental health and well-being. It will focus on coping strategies, one to one peer support, and psychosocial and recovery supports in a relaxed, accessible, inclusive, safe, and comfortable environment.

The Solace Café will be situated in Monkstown, Co. Dublin.
