Many people living in Private Emergency Accommodation face isolation, instability and high levels of stress. Our PACT teams visit PEA sites regularly to check in with residents, offer safer‑use information, support people with healthcare and help them plan for safer housing options. These visits give people a chance to talk openly and get support in a place that already feels familiar.

Recovery doesn’t end when Recovery Month does. It continues every day, in hostels, clinics, homes, outreach settings and courtrooms. It looks different for everyone, and progress isn’t always linear. We support people at their own pace and recognise every step forward, no matter how small.

In 2025, we invested in new ways to support our staff teams. Frontline work can be demanding, and staff wellbeing is essential for safe, consistent service delivery. This year we introduced our first annual Staff Development Day, expanded training and professional development, strengthened clinical supervision and reflective practice, and made wider organisational changes to improve communication and team cohesion. These supports help us stay present for the people who rely on us.

The VanaLiffey brings harm reduction supplies, nursing care and crisis support directly to people in rural areas and to people sleeping rough in cities. Our mobile team, including nurses and harm‑reduction workers, provides wound care, naloxone, safer‑use information and links to treatment, supporting people who cannot reach fixed services. VanaLiffey helps people stay connected with healthcare and ongoing support wherever they are.

We work with the Dublin Drug Court to support people who are navigating addiction, criminal justice involvement and social harms. Our case manager helps participants attend court, manage appointments and build stability, providing practical support that enables people to move away from criminalisation and towards safer futures.

This work is funded by the Department of Health, and reflects recommendations from the Minister for Justice’s recent Drug Court Review Report, which highlighted the importance of harm‑reduction and case‑management supports for people engaging with the Drug Court.

Our teams work closely with hospitals and emergency departments across Dublin and the Midwest. We support people who arrive in crisis, help them understand their options and link them with ongoing care. These partnerships make it easier for people to access healthcare when they need it most.

🧡 Team Ana Liffey 🧡

We had a wonderful opportunity for team building recently at our Staff Development day in Lyrath Estate Kilkenny!

At the end of September, our teams from around the regions got together to bond over old school sports day games and great food, all in the beautiful grounds of the Lyrath Estate.

Working at Ana Liffey is rewarding, but it is also very tough. We work with people who have been seriously harmed by life and are striving towards their recovery. Our service users allow us into their lives, which often brings its fair share of sadness and frustration, as well as hope and celebration. Our staff, whether they are on the frontline or in the back office, all work together towards one goal - meet the needs of our service users.

Our annual Staff Developement day is so important to get together, recharge and remind ourselves that no matter what your job description is, we are all Ana Liffey and we all support one another.

Massive thank you to our working group of staff and to our HR Specialist Nikitha Honnavara Murali for organising the day!

We use evidence‑based tools like SAOR and Motivational Interviewing to help people explore safer choices. These approaches support people to make changes at their own pace and strengthen their confidence in the decisions they make. Evidence matters because it helps us deliver support that works.

12/10/2026

Our Good Neighbour policy is operated across all communites we serve. Staff deliver pro‑social interventions, safety information and regular check‑ins. In 2025, the Dublin LEAR team completed 651 Good Neighbour interventions that helped people stay connected with support and reduced harm in local neighbourhoods.
