Louth ABC Programme Creating brighter futures for children by supporting the implementation of evidence-based programmes and approaches across Louth

The Louth ABC Programme is based with Louth Local Development CLG as one of its core government funded programmes. The Louth Area Based Childhood Programme aims to work in partnership with families, practitioners, communities and national stakeholders to deliver better outcomes for children and families living in areas of need in County Louth. This is achieved using a range of evidence based inte

rventions that are implemented within the home, community and education sector. The Area Based Childhood Programme is funded through the national Tusla ABC Programme.

🌿 Baby & Me Café 🌿

Last week we were delighted to welcome 2 Occupational Therapists, Karen and Rachel, from Primary Care, who shared fantastic advice with parents 👶💛

They spoke about sitting positions, helping babies move from sitting to crawling, and why walkers and play gyms can impact development. They also highlighted the importance of tummy time and demonstrated helpful positions to try at home 🌱

✨ Join us again tomorrow for a relaxed morning of chats, coffee and connection ☕

We’d love to see you there 😊
