Initially established as HUGS@Home in 2021 as a research project within RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences, we legally incorporated as HUGS CLG in August 2024. We provide tailored, skills based psychological first aid training for first responders and their family members or close friends, to help them deal with potentially psychologically traumatic workplace events.
Our vision is an Ireland where first responders, families, friends and organisations, will talk openly about mental health without fear or stigma, and feel more confident to support each other.
