Updated information on Healthy Ireland Galway County Independent Living Skills Training!

Project partners have continued to work together to secure the schedule of training delivery this autumn.  We are hopeful that thanks to the support of all project partners, participants, family and friends, people will be supported to recieve training, information and ongoing advice on Independent Living Skills in County Galway. As a project team, we met and recognised the need to reduce the contact hours of classes, while also working to achieve our learning outcomes. The solution has been to increase our courses to 8 weeks, while reducing the class times to 2 hours each day of training.
