More men than ever contacting resource centres

More men than ever before have accessed services at family resource centres around the country, but counselling hours have been reduced due to cutbacks.

The Family Resource Centre National Forum met in Dublin yesterday to publish its annual report which showed an increased demand for services at a time when funding has been reduced.

Chairperson Claire Dineen said family resource centres needed to keep working in as many communities as possible to ensure no family in need fell through the cracks.
