KDYS Family Support

Family Support is a style of work and a wide range of activities that strengthen positive informal social networks through community based programmes and services.  The main focus of these services is on early intervention aiming to promote and protect the health, well-being and rights of all children, young people and their families. At the same time particular attention is given to those who are vulnerable or at risk.

The KDYS run TWO family support programmes in partnership with TUSLA one in Tralee and one in Kilorglin.
