The history of the service

Our colleague Maria O’Connell was passionate in her belief of the beneficial impact of both art and play therapy as mediums of support for both children and adults. Maria worked tirelessly in during the summer of 2021 to plan and design a therapy space along with the project manager. Maria’s vision for the Ballincollig FRC Therapeutic Hub was to provide an environment to help children and adults make sense of their lives using art and creative play.

All referrals for our therapy service can now be done online.
