Last year, Coolmine launched its latest strategic plan for 2023-2026. This ambitious framework lays out our key objectives for the coming years as we seek to remain at the forefront of evidence - based addiction services into the future.

Among our key objectives, we aim to create an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. Our work in helping to turn our clients' lives around as they transform to become the best versions of themselves provides us with a unique understanding of how to nurture talent without prejudice to a person’s background. It is essential for us to embody the ethics that underpin our work at Coolmine by fostering an atmosphere where we uphold the standards we wish to pass onto our clients. As always, at Coolmine, we strive to provide our clients with the best treatments available to help them achieve an enduring recovery.

Today, Coolmine officially launched its Annual Report for 2023. We were honoured to have Bernard Gloster, CEO of the HSE as the key speaker at the event. We also heard from Coolmine’s own CEO, Pauline McKeown, and the Chairman of our board John Gleeson as they laid out the fantastic strides that Coolmine has made in the past year, but also the challenges that lay ahead. The latest annual report provides a comprehensive overview of Coolmine’s growing impact and also reveals an urgent and ongoing need for public support to help vulnerable individuals and families affected by addiction. Perhaps, most rewardingly of all, we were honoured that Coolmine graduate Anna Handbury, shared her journey with us. Hearing about the progress that our clients have made as they navigate recovery is the reason why we continue striving to provide the best, evidence-based programmes that we possibly can. The Annual Report 2023 is available to download on our website at: https://lnkd.in/diXUyHkz #Coolmine #AnnualReport2023 #RecoveryIsPossible #OvercomingAddiciton

Last week, Colm Burke TD Minister of State with responsibility for Public Health, Wellbeing and the National Drugs Strategy paid a visit to Coolmine’s Cork North City Hub to meet with the staff and client coordinator. It was a pleasure to receive the minister and a great opportunity to showcase all the hard work and the fantastic service available to people in the community. Coolmine Cork North City offers a range of quality evidence based services to support individuals and families impacted by drug and alcohol use. We provide assessment, individual and group support, a cocaine specific programme, community outreach, family support, and aftercare among other programmes. Collaboration across governmental departments is essential in addressing drug misuse, homelessness, and mental health issues. Coolmine recognises the importance of this collaboration and openly invites all relevant departments to visit our facilities, witness our work first-hand, and engage in discussions on how we can collectively tackle these pressing issues. #CoolmineSouthWest #PoweringRecovery #NationalDrugStrategy #EvidenceBasedServices
