Resources

Welcome to our resources section where you can find a wide range of helpful videos, website links and book recommendations.

Our most recent resource is the Laois Offaly Disability Directory, that you can download HERE or scroll down the page.

We are especially delighted to share some YouTube videos from Laois Offaly HSE Primary Care Psychology on a range of relevant topics.

We have also listed their book recommendations which you think you’ll find useful. Finally, we have included a range of online supports available from local staff and services. We look forward to adding to this section over time with new publications and useful information.

Life Matters Podcast -The Spectrum Series

Here is a link to our Autumn 2021 Podcast Series called Life Matters. All the content was generated locally with our local Young people interviewing Dr. Peter Vermeulen, Dr. Penny Rogers, Dr. Gillian Harris and a range of other speakers .

Before this website came along, we weren’t sure what services were available locally and how to access them. It’s great to now see them all listed in one place with lots of useful information and contact details.
