Who We Are

Who We Are

Welcome to Kyrie Therapeutic Farm


The purpose of the farm is to aid recovery for people experiencing significant mental health difficulties. Recovery will be facilitated through the creation of a healing environment combining a supportive community, therapeutic and holistic care and meaningful opportunities for participating in a natural farm setting in Ireland.


Together with Dr. Eoin Galavan, we have assembled a world class team of leaders in Mental Health Care to help define and guide the solution that brings alive all the aspirations of Ireland’s mental health policy, Vision for Change, and its recently updated version, Sharing the Vision: A Mental Health Policy for Everyone (2020), putting the person concerned and their views central to developing their care solution. These Leaders in the Mental Health arena will continue to guide all aspects of the development of the Farm.


A Board of Directors, Service Delivery Committee and Finance & Implementation Team have been established. Having engaged with leading business experts, a financially sustainable model is in place once the farm is established. 


We are currently in the planning phase of the project. Kildare County Council granted a decision to award, subject to appeal. Unfortunately three parties appealed to An Bord Pleanala. We await the decision of the board. In the meantime we are getting the farm up and running, are in the 2 year Organic conversion process and will be selling vegetable boxes in the Summer.

 

We appreciate all the tremendous support for the project and we look forward to developing a transformative initiative in Ireland’s mental health landscape.
