Archways is a not for profit organisation researching and delivering
evidence based programmes for children and families in Ireland. One of
the programmes we deliver is Functional Family Therapy.
Archways have been commissioned to establish a new project in the
north side of Dublin to address the challenges faced by young people

families. The project will run for a 3 year period and as part of the
University of Limerick ?Greentown Project? which aims to reduce
the influence of criminal networks on young people and provide them
with alternative pro-social pathways. Full training will be provided
