What is the MACE project?

MACE (Multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences) is an EU funded project that aims to transform the lives of vulnerable children and their families who are most at risk from a range of challenges and difficulties in their lives, by identifying, intervening early, and providing nurturing and support within their own homes and communities on a cross border basis.

In 2021, Archways successfully tendered to provide Interventions to the MACE project. Archways, on behalf of MACE, are delivering a range of Interventions to families in the border area of the Republic of Ireland. This includes Specialist one to one intervention to families and young people who have had multiple adverse experiences: and a range of newer Universal interventions including workshops on behaviour, play, social and emotional coaching as well as parenting programmes.
