Since 2016 the @dcediy funded Bail Supervision Scheme has been helping change the lives of young people.
For one family, the support they received from Extern, @CourtsServiceIE, @probation_irl, @gardainfo meant their son could access the support he needed to change his life.
The most vulnerable families need support to reduce adversity & challenges and stay together

#EndChildPovertyWeek interesting perspective in the discussion this morning and the view by Rónán Hession - child poverty is so multi-faceted and complex that there isn't a single lever to pull that will fix it...@ChildRightsIRL
Ireland has a massive gambling industry and equally a massive #gambling problem that is steadily and worryingly getting worse.
We know that for every person with a gambling problem, an additional 8-10 people are impacted – this is often the person’s family.
#Budget2023
Following over a decade of standstill funding to the Community & Voluntary sectors Extern are calling on the Government to restore pay & reverse cuts incurred since 2009 to enable services to reach & support the thousands of families already in crisis
