Our Services
Complementary Therapies
Families Moving On offer complementary therapies to its members. Members can avail of 6 sessions of treatments, Massage, Reflexology, Hopi Ear Candling or Indian Head Massage.
Befriending
The befriending service at Families Moving On is for those that have become socially isolated due to life circumstances such as illness, disability, bereavement or other adverse events. Support is offered through volunteer befrienders.
Social Support
FMO aims to provide social support to its members to reduce social isolation levels and improve confidence levels. Social support at FMO can be achieved through various events and activities including coffee mornings, luncheon dates, various personal development classes throughout the year and respite trips.
Transgenerational Activities
FMO strongly believe that if we are to effectively help our members in their transition and journey of recovery this cannot be done by isolating the individual and only working with them. We need to work with the wider family circle as all have been affected by the trauma.
Personal & Professional Development
Community Garden
In 2022 Families Moving On acquired two polytunnels at MACCA Resource Centre, Knockshee Park, Omagh. Research has proved gardening is extremely beneficial for wellbeing, for example, it can improve mental health by reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, mood disturbances and stress.
Other Services & Our Partners
Families Moving On has formed partnerships with other Victims and Survivors groups in the area with several established referral pathways into organisations providing important services FMO cannot offer. Members can be referred to avail of welfare advice and assistance including applications to the Troubles Permanent Disablement Payment Scheme (TPDPS) through our partner organisation SEFF (South East Fermanagh Foundation).
