LEAR (Law Engagement Assisted Recovery)

Our LEAR team partners with An Garda Siochána across Limerick City Centre. 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 support to service users.
