Join Audrey and Baggie in this episode of The Social Care Podcast as they chat to Claire O'Sullivan from Tintean Housing Association in Waterford City. Claire shares her incredible story of pain and resilience through adversity which led to her passion for her work with women affected by homelessness. Claire has worked for many years with those experiencing homelessness, men, women and families. Since joining Tinteán 7 years ago, she is passionate about the experiences of mothers in particular and the invisibility they feel when they are separated from their children. She hopes to give women a voice, help them to feel visible in the world and their community, reduce the shame and stigma they feel, and also create a system in homeless services where we talk about issues such as this, and where we are skilled in supporting women to see their children where at all possible, and access services appropriately and empower them to self-advocate for their rights.
