‘Renewing Roots’ supports former residents of Ireland's Mother and Baby and County Home institutions. Offering free, confidential advice and advocacy to individuals affected by institutional incarceration and abuse. The service is for former residents living in the north of England and their family members. Rooted in trauma-informed practice with a person-centred approach, renewing roots listens to community members’ experiences and works with them towards their goals. The word Fréa comes from the Irish for ‘root’; at our root lies care, respect and a renewed hope for growth.
