Trustee/Director

Genesis is a well established and highly regarded psychotherapy and family therapy service, serving those who live or work in the Dublin 15 area. Our goal is provide a psychotherapy service that is low cost and accessible to all members of the community, regardless of circumstance. We pride ourselves on valuing difference and diversity and we continually work hard to ensure that we are accessible to all who need our support.

Genesis is seeking new board members who may be active in the community of Dublin 15 and have an interest in the area of mental health. We also encourage young people to join the board, especially from the Dublin 15 community as we feel it is important to get their voice and input and to hear the issues facing them. Genesis is a long established charity who has been active in the community since 1993. We are reliant on Government funding to provide our services. We believe it’s important to bring new people on board with fresh thinking and new ideas, in order to ensure that the service can continue for years to come.
