The purpose of this study is to explore and evaluate the experience of the HBTT service from the perspective of supporters (family members, carers, and spouses).

We are inviting people who provide significant support to someone who has used the HBTT service within the last year, or a current service user who has been in the service for a minimum of three weeks to share their experience in this research. 

We ask participants to take part in a brief interview about their experiences with the HBTT Services.

Our aim is to identify strengths, challenges,

and areas for improvement in service delivery.

​

This research is being led by Niamh Flynn, who is a Trainee Clinical Psychologist in the School of Applied Psychology at University College Cork. Niamh is carrying out the research with Dr. Samantha Dockray and Dr. Sean Pellegrini.  Niamh Flynn is  not an employee of the HBTT service.
