#careaware #careday23 framed Panel -Una O'Farrell at the opening of a new exhibition at Douglas library, called “Tusla Fostering/aftercare presents: ‘Reflections on the care experience in Cork” A thought-provoking display of poems, reflections and quotes written by those with care experience and those who are Foster Carers in Cork is on display in the library during September and October. The overall aim of the exhibition is to break the stigma for those with care experience and allow an insight into the complexity of the care community in Cork. The feelings, thoughts and emotions shared by those with care experience and Foster Carers allow an insight into an often silent sector of society. The exhibition allows for members of the public to become informed about what the care experience can entail, and perhaps inspire them to begin their own fostering journey. Pic Larry Cummins
