Nuala’s Time at PSS

Hello! My name is Nuala and I am a student social worker doing my placement with the Enable Project. I just wanted to express my gratitude for the experience the project has given me and also for the support and knowledge I have gained from the PSS family.

These past few weeks have been the most inspiring, eye-opening and motivating I have experienced! I first started out with the idea that I was going to make this huge life changing experience in someone’s life, but reality soon sank in. In today’s society, there are a lot of barriers which stop people from achieving their aims and goals, but with projects like Enable everything is possible and achievable! With the people I have had the privilege of working with in the project I have grew stronger as a person and cannot wait to get into the world of social work.

The values of the PSS service strive for excellence in everything they do along with continuously looking for new ways to improve.

One of the things I loved the most about the PSS and Enable project is how they strive for person centred practice. It was inspiring to see that every individual in the service aimed to have the service users at the heart of their support.

As a student social worker we are continually reminded how the person requiring our help is our main priority, but to witness it in practice has made it all make sense.

So I leave with positive thoughts and a wonderful experience! I have been guided and supported by 6 incredible angels and I cannot thank them enough! Anna, Siobhan, Anne, Marie, Tessa and Patty thank you!

Happy 20th Anniversary to Enable and I can only hope there’s 2000 more!

Love and Kindness Nuala
