An innovative culturally diverse project which challenges the social stigma and associated isolation of living with HIV through peer support.

Founded in 1997, Open Heart House is Ireland's largest peer support network of HIV+ people. Warm and welcoming, Open Heart House provides a wide range of programmes and services to support our members as they continue the journey to empowerment and face the challenges of living with HIV.

Employment Preparation and Training

Open heart House in conjunction with the National Learning Network (NLN) have commenced an innovative Employment Training and Preparation Programme for women.

The Programme is a pilot programme to run over 6 months. During the 6 months Paul Hodkinson (Vocational Instructor with the National Learning Network) will work with a group of up to 44 women over a 6 month period. 14 of the women will do group work over a 3 month period, which will then run again for another 14 women.
