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.
