Take Time for You – IFCA Monthly Caring Space
Fostering is a journey filled with both challenges and rewards. That’s why the Irish Foster Care Association’s Monthly Caring Space offers foster carers a chance to pause, connect, and recharge.
Join us online for a supportive morning with Marianne Dwyer, Psychotherapist, where you’ll meet fellow foster carers from across Ireland in a welcoming, confidential space. Share experiences, build resilience, and remember that you’re not alone on your fostering journey.
Bring your favourite cuppa and give yourself the gift of self-care.
Marianne Dwyer, MA; RGN; MAPCP; Certified Teacher in Mindfulness and Meditation, is an accredited Psychotherapist (MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy), with a background of 20 years in Nursing, who now works in a variety of settings, one of which is the provision of support to IFCA Helpline and national volunteers and Advocates. She also provides support in the areas of grief, loss, emotional trauma and stress-management. The bedrock of Marianne’s approach in her counselling and group work is self-care and self-compassion.
