THE EMPLOYER: SAOL PROJECT LTD. DUBLIN 1
SAOL was the first women-specific, drug rehabilitation community
project in Ireland. Working in Dublin's Northeast Inner City, SAOL is
focussed on improving the lives of women affected by addiction and
poverty. SAOL is a feminist-based project which provides both
peer-informed and trauma-informed care and aims to create positive
meaningful change in the women’s lives through an integrated
programme of education, rehabilitation, advocacy, childcare provision
(with a focus on early childhood education), progression and aftercare
supports. The project’s ethos is informed by respect for the dignity
of each woman.
THE PROGRAMME: THE DAVINA PROJECT
Recognising the high prevalence of DV in women who use substances and
the lack of an appropriate response and access to services from both
Addiction and DV services. The project is both direct frontline
service provision and developmental. Developing an evidence-based
model of support co-created with those with first-hand experience of
both issues and informed by research undertaken by TCD.
