Trainer

Dr Veronica Byrne is a Senior Psychologist with Cork Kerry Social Inclusion Psychology Service. Currently Veronica supports the psychological wellbeing of children and adults who are living in IPAS centres (Direct Provision) across Cork and Kerry.  People seeking international protection (also known as seeking asylum) are more likely to have additional physical and mental health needs, however, equity of access to our health services can be a challenge, due to additional barriers for this group. The Social Inclusion Psychology service aims to support and enhance the psychological well- being of people seeking international protection given the increased risk of trauma associated with the asylum seeker journey, compounded by the uncertainty and stress of living in Direct Provision. Veronica’s area of interest is working with trauma and she has supported children, adults and families across HSE services for the past nine years.  

Midlands Science promotes engagement with Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths to communities all over the midlands. A key group of people we engage with are young people and we are keen to involve them in our content creation and programming. In order to make this involvement as impactful as possible, we are establishing a Youth Advisory Panel which will meet three times per year to review the work of Midlands Science and to provide vital input into the development of this work. A panel of 6 young people (aged 16+)will be established for a one year term from September to May each year and will be renewed each year with new members. All members will be provided with training in science communications and general communications and a full briefing on how to take part in the process. It will be an exciting and creative opportunity for anyone interested in science and/or communications.
