Don’t miss our upcoming podcast featuring Sonia Callaghan, a registered Intellectual Disability Nurse from St. John of God Community Services - North East. Sonia will explore:

• The evolution of St. John of God’s supports toward a person-centered approach, reflecting shifts in Irish healthcare away from the medical model.
• Balancing compassionate care with individual autonomy and rights.
• Building meaningful, long-term relationships with those we support.

Join us for a great chat with three of the DAT Digital Accessibility Team from Liffey Services as we discuss how co-design can lead to better, more accessible digital solutions. We'll highlight each person's strengths—lived experience, facilitation, research, or tech know-how—and how those things come together to make real change. If you care about inclusion and innovation or want to hear how we can build a more accessible digital world, this one's for you. Let's keep co-designing a future that works for everyone!

In our latest episode of Community Conversations, we tackle the stigma and some of the misunderstandings surrounding psychosis with Dr. Keith Gaynor, a clinical psychologist and expert in early intervention. Join us as we explore what it means to experience psychosis, the importance of early intervention, and how we can support those affected. Dr. Gaynor shares, "Psychosis is not defined by what you experience but the impact that experience has on you. Early intervention can make a significant difference."

He also recounts a personal story: "I once had a colleague who, after losing hours of work due to a computer crash, thought IT was sabotaging her. This is a perfect example of how stress can lead to paranoid thoughts, even in the most rational minds." Let's break down barriers and foster empathy together.
