About: Sligo/Leitrim Mental Health Services

(as a staff member posting for a carer/relative),

Feedback from a Spouse who attended the Eolas programme in Sligo recently was:

" I was referred to the Eolas Programme by the North Leitrim Mental Health Team. The most valuable aspects of the programme was having the opportunity to listen to others, the sharing of experiences, and getting clear professional information"

I meet with service users and sometimes with their families. I assess psychological problems and provide psychological interventions in an effort to help service users overcome their difficulties.

It's great to receive positive feedback about the Eolas Programme which is provided by Sligo/Leitrim/South Donegal/West Cavan mental health service.

Eolas is a programme for service users with a diagnosis of Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder and their families/close friends. The programme consists of two parallel programmes, each lasting 8 weeks, a programme for services users and a programme for families/close friends. They are delivered by two co-facilitators, one of whom is a peer facilitator (I.e. a service user or family member) and the other a clinician.

The Eolas programme is available to those who attend the Sligo/Leitrim/South Donegal/West Cavan Mental Health Services and to their families. For further information on this, we advise people to talk to their key-worker or any member of their community mental health team.
