Dublin Services

Dublin region:

Ana Liffey works all across the Dublin, from Balbriggan to Dun Laoighre, providing supports to people in their preferred location:

LEAR (Law Engagement Assisted Recovery)

Our LEAR team partners with An Garda Siochána, Probation services and the Drug Courts in Dublin. Together, we provide support services to people who are caught in a cycle of criminal behaviour, often due to their addiction, homelessness and mental health issues. LEAR aims to make it possible for service users to engage effectively with support services, often for the first time, and to identify and achieve their goals. A key focus of the programme is supporting people to move away from criminality and antisocial behaviour and towards their personal recovery.

LEAR provides key working, case management, harm reduction supplies service, overdose prevention training and domestic, gender and sexual based violence supports to service users.

PACT (Private Emergency Accommodation Assertive Case Management Team)

Our PACT team provides services to residents of Private Emergency Accommodation homeless services across Dublin. Our team of Project Workers and Nurses go onsite to these settings, making it as easy as possible for service user to engage with our support. PACT aims to help service users with all of their needs from health, substance use and training to housing and social integration. This work is carried out in partnership with the HSE, Dublin Regional Homeless Executive, the Private Emergency providers, Coolmine, Focus Ireland and Depaul Ireland.

PACT provides key working, case management, dual diagnosis, domestic gender and sexual based violence, nursing, overdose prevention training, group work and harm reduction supplies service support to service users.

Community Support Team

Our Community Support Team works with people in the North Inner City community and beyond to provide support on their addiction, health and life goals. The team provides outreach into the community to make our Harm Reduction Supplies service highly accessible, using our mobile health promotion unit, the “VanaLiffey”. The team reaches out to find people who are hidden in the community and in need of support. They also reach into prisons, treatment clinics, homeless accommodation and rough sleeping encampments to ensure equitable access to our services for those service users.

Community Support team provides women’s health programme, gender specific counselling, key working, case management, group work, Circle programme, harm reduction supplies service, overdose prevention training and community detox support services to service users.

Balbriggan Team

Our Balbriggan team provides addiction support to people living in Balbriggan and surrounding areas, often meeting people in their own homes to provide a hands-on, confidential service. The team reaches into the community to find people who need their support on a range of issues from employment, training, health and addiction. The Balbriggan team provides key working, case management, overdose prevention training, group work and harm reduction supplies service to service users.

Housing First Health Multidisciplinary team

Our Housing First team partners with Health Services Executive, Dublin Local Authorities and the Housing First Intensive Case Management teams to provide clinical, psychological, social work and occupational therapy support and referrals to participants of the Housing First Programme in Dublin. Our team works to support Housing First participants in addressing all of their health needs and ensuring they can access health care in their own communities. Our team also works with participants to help them access specialist care for their more complex health needs, as needed.
