Description:

This course is for participants with lived or working experience of homeless services. The course is free and certified. It has been designed by and will be delivered by people with lived experience of homelessness, and aims to empower people living in homeless services and improve experiences of the services. This 4 week course will be a collaborative process of open conversations between people with lived and working experience of the services. Over the 4 weeks the group will share a diversity of experiences of 4 major themes: Services, Education, Empowerment and Information. At the end of the course, participants will combine all of the knowledge shared over the 4 sessions into a handy guidebook for service users and service providers. This will be an excellent opportunity for participatory learning for all involved. If you meet the criteria for the course, we strongly encourage you to express your interest. Spaces are limited and we will prioritise a 50/50 split between services users and service providers to ensure the greatest diversity in the room.

This course will run in memory of our dear friend and colleague Chris O’ Donnell, former Peer Support Worker in Homelessness for Safety Net. This course is funded by a collaboration between ourselves, Safety Net and Recovery Academy Ireland.
