Killaloe/Ballina Community & Family Resource Centre

28/05/2026

Today is the last day of my clinical placement. For the past two years I have been so lucky to work for two amazing organisations and Killaloe/Ballina Community & Family Resource Centre It’s difficult for me to find the words to express my appreciation for the support and encouragement they gave me especially when I was unsure and wobbled in the early days.

I’m also deeply thankful to every client who allowed me to travel alongside them in some of the most vulnerable and challenging times of their lives. Their courage, honesty, and strength has inspired me to be braver in my own life. It has been a privilege to do this work with them.

I will be opening my own private practice from the 15th June but I will be continuing my association with both Inner Voice Inner Journey and Killaloe/Ballina Community and Family Resource Centre. There’s no way you’re getting rid of me that easy 😂

We are delighted to announce the return of the Rainbows Programme 🌈 at the /Ballina Community & Family Resource Centre , beginning on 7th May.

This 9-week group support programme offers a safe, welcoming space 🤝 for children aged 10–12 years who may be experiencing bereavement or parental separation. Through gentle conversation, shared experiences, and age-appropriate activities, children are supported to understand and express their feelings 💬 alongside others who may be going through something similar.

Rainbows is not counselling, but a carefully designed listening and support programme that helps young people build resilience 💛, connection, and confidence during difficult times.

At the heart of this programme is a simple belief: stronger families start with small steps.

🌈💛

If you feel this programme could support a child in your life, we encourage you to get in touch 📧 or scan the QR code for more information.

🎶✨ Community Music Pop-Up 2026 ✨🎶

A wonderful celebration of music and community spirit at the Killaloe Ballina Community & Family Resource Centre, as our 2026 group performed outdoors to showcase their amazing progress! 🎤🎸 Over six weeks, complete beginners grew in confidence and ability, and it was fantastic to see their hard work come together in such a joyful performance for the community.

A huge thank you to Clíona Donnellan for her energy, encouragement, and fantastic teaching, and to & Clare Education & Training Board Community Education for facilitating this popular and valued community music course. Your support continues to make opportunities like this possible for everyone. 🙌

Thanks also to all participants and the community for their support. 💛

So lovely to see Deirdre Scanlan Music and the talented crew of young musicians playing in the lovely sunshine out in the courtyard 🥰

A small but mighty crowd for the Droichead Trad junior session yesterday in our new venue, the Killaloe/Ballina Community & Family Resource Centre . We even played outside in the sun. Hopefully more can join us on Sunday 17th of May at 4pm. Fingers crossed that the sun will shine on us again. Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí ❤️🎶❤️
