Stewarts Family Network is the coming together of family members to support service users in Stewarts Care.
The group hosts a coffee morning on the last Friday of each month at 10.30am in Rossecourt Day Centre. This is an opportunity for parents/guardians to meet for an informal chat.
During the year members of the Executive Committee meet with the Stewarts Care CEO on at least three occasions. This gives the Network the opportunity to discuss topics and issues raised by our members.
The Executive committee meet on the last Wednesday of each month,
The current Executive Committee is as follows:
John Hynes - Chairperson
Stephanie Coen - Secretary
Hazel Baker - Treasurer
Stewarts Care is working to establish more family involvement which will be represented on Family Engagement Committees.
John Hynes , Eugene Foley and Dermot Mullen are family members on Stewarts Care Board of Directors.
