Role of centre in the community
The Centre was founded in 1992 as an initiative of a group of committed volunteers who identified a need for a counselling service for survivors of sexual violence. The Centre is now staffed by a group of dedicated counsellors who are all trained to the highest standard and accredited with the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). We are fortunate to also have a group of dedicated, committed volunteers. The volunteers provide a 24 hour, 7 day a week response to rape victims who present to the Gardai. They are available to provide emotional support and information to rape victims and their families.
The Centre believes that it has an important role in the community through raising public awareness of the issues involved in sexual violence.
