An Cosán

If something in our life is holding us back, it can stop us from reaching our dreams — including learning and opportunity.

At An Cosán, we know that when mothers are supported, families thrive.

Our counselling service is a vital part of our wraparound supports, helping mothers and families overcome barriers and succeed in learning and life.

For 40 years, this holistic approach has shown that change starts with m**s.

What a wonderful morning at An Cosán St. Anne's!

We recently hosted an Open Day giving families the chance to explore the service, meet our staff and learn more about the programmes and supports available through An Cosán.

The room was set up to encourage children to play and explore across different learning areas, with displays explaining each space and the developmental benefits for little ones.

On the day we showcased our wraparound services, the Bia Blasta programme including a hands-on fruit preparation activity for the children, and parenting supports provided by CDI. We were also delighted to welcome Niamh from Speech and Language, who spoke with families about the Chit Chat programme and answered their questions.

It was a really positive and welcoming morning and we loved having so many families come through the door.

Watch this space for more upcoming events at St. Anne's!
