This week, it was a pleasure to host team members from the Offaly Traveller Movement (OTM) at CDI. They are fellow awardees of the Rethink Ireland Brighter Futures Fund, which aims to improve mental health and wellbeing for marginalised groups in Ireland.

We provided an overview of CDI's Youth Mental Health programme, Nova, and our Restorative Practices programme, and discussed how both organisations could collaborate going forward. We look forward to continuing these talks.
