Community Response Ltd is a primary alcohol and Liver Health/Hepatitis C service, established in 1990. The service is based in the Liberties in the South Inner City of Dublin however our free and confidential service is available to anyone located in Dublin and its surrounding counties.
Here at Community Response we have produced a programme that offers services along a continuum of care, from those actively drinking to those who are abstinent. Psycho-educational models of group work are utilised, along with underlying approaches of Motivational Interviewing and CBT. Harm reduction underpins all service provision with co production approaches sought in relation to service development and application.
Individual streams of care center around key working with two approaches at front and centre : mindfulness and psychosocial interventions. These paradigms are used to manage presenting issues within an individual or group setting and may include stress management techniques, how to recognise and respond to anxiety, liver diseases and the role of the liver, the impact of sleep regression and how to manage cravings thoughts, behaviours and emotions in relation to alcohol use.
Alongside our core programme we also offer two streams of specialised care in the form of Family Support and Hepatitis C advocacy, education and support. Our service has a long successful history delivering support within this context and we continue to place concerns experienced by the community at the heart of these operations. Our Family Support group is structured around the Afinet 5 Step Method of care which is supported by the National Family Support Network. Co production and peer support are core tenets to the program along with our own belief that no family should have to live with the isolation that addiction can bring.
Our Hepatitis C (HCV) service has a slightly different remit as a member of the Hepatitis C Partnership which is a national network of organisations focused on ensuring Hepatitis C is made a rare disease here in Ireland by 2030. Through this network our trained staff offer a programme of care aimed at reducing new infections of HCV and increasing access about testing and treatment for those not linked to care.
