In this episode of the HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast, we explore the care and support available to people who have experienced sexual assault. Our guests discuss what happens when someone attends a Sexual Assault Treatment Unit (SATU) and the importance of providing compassionate, trauma-informed care.
The conversation highlights the range of supports available, what individuals can expect during their visit and how specially trained staff work to ensure people feel safe, informed and supported throughout their care. Listeners are encouraged to learn more about SATU services and the role they play in supporting recovery and wellbeing. Listen here: https://bit.ly/4jH7yHF

A new joint initiative in Co Kilkenny is helping older people maintain their independence by allowing them to try practical aids in their own homes.
The ‘Handy Helps’ collection, a collaboration between HSE South East Primary Care Occupational Therapy and Kilkenny County Library Service, was recently launched at Loughboy Library.
The collection provides access to a range of carefully selected aids and gadgets designed to make everyday activities easier.
Organised into 3 themed packs, the collection consists of Culinary Aids, Mobility Aids and Social Aids. Each pack contains a number of items that can be borrowed as a single unit for up to eight weeks, allowing people to try the aids in their own homes and see which are most useful to them.
