Anam Cara and Covid-19
Anam Cara is committed to the safety and wellbeing of our volunteer parents, professional facilitators and all parents attending the Anam Cara group’s Parent Evenings. Although Covid 19 is part of our day to day lives, so is our grief and loss. We know at Anam Cara how important it is being able to talk to other bereaved mothers and fathers, who understand and it helps us know we are not alone.
When our face to face events return Anam Cara will work closely with all our venues throughout Ireland to ensure they are following all recommendations set out by the health authorities around facilitating a meeting in the community.
For this reason we will need parents to register for the monthly meetings when your local Face to Face group support meetings returns, this is because the venues will have guidelines of 2 meters in terms of the maximum number of participants in their meeting rooms.
Before registering for your nearest Anam Cara Parent evening, please answer the assessment questions below.
