Bob Donnelly
Consultant Psychologist
I am a Psychologist and I visit Moore House twice a month. I meet a lot of staff but mostly see Stephen, Stephanie and Adam in PSI – they make me laugh and “chill out” every week! We discuss their work with new admissions and how young people new to Moore House can best settle in and get all they can out of being with Moore House.
We also discuss how young people are doing after being with Moore House for a while and how lots of areas of their lives have improved since they first came to Moore House. We all like to know we are doing well and Young People in Moore House are just the same as everyone else.
I also visit other residential schools and can say that Moore House is a pleasure to visit. Stephen and Stephanie even mostly put up with me although sometimes I cannot understand what they are talking about. Can anyone tell me what Facebook is?
