Trainer
Dr Veronica Byrne is a Senior Psychologist with Cork Kerry Social Inclusion Psychology Service. Currently Veronica supports the psychological wellbeing of children and adults who are living in IPAS centres (Direct Provision) across Cork and Kerry. People seeking international protection (also known as seeking asylum) are more likely to have additional physical and mental health needs, however, equity of access to our health services can be a challenge, due to additional barriers for this group. The Social Inclusion Psychology service aims to support and enhance the psychological well- being of people seeking international protection given the increased risk of trauma associated with the asylum seeker journey, compounded by the uncertainty and stress of living in Direct Provision. Veronica’s area of interest is working with trauma and she has supported children, adults and families across HSE services for the past nine years.
