Tullamore students complete the Speak Up Speak Out Programme

People attending Muiríosa Foundation Day Services in Tullamore recently completed the ‘Speak Up Speak Out’ programme.

Speak Up Speak Out is a personal development and assertiveness programme for people with intellectual disabilities, which was delivered over eight weeks in Tullamore Library. The programme supports participants to develop confidence, communication and self-advocacy skills, helping them to speak up, make choices and advocate for themselves.

Those who took part were Donagh O'Donoghue, Grainne Lawless, Eddie Palmer, Darren O'Reilly, Lisa Minnock, Jenny Molloy, Annette Pender and Sheila Wyer, all of whom celebrated their achievements by receiving certificates of attendance at the final session.
