Mothers Hope Facilitator Guide
3 September 2025
The Mothers Hope Facilitator Guide is a compassionate, trauma-informed resource designed to support women who are mothers and have experienced homelessness, mental health challenges, or substance use and separation from their children. Rooted in co-production and peer support, this guide offers a flexible framework for facilitators, community workers, and professionals to create safe, empowering spaces where mothers can explore identity, grief, resilience, and healing.
Developed through lived experience and group sessions at Tinteán Women’s Residential Service, the guide is not a rigid manual—it’s a living document that encourages adaptability, creativity, and shared power. Each session is built around core principles of safety, choice, and emotional support, with practical tools including DBT affirmations, meditations, and reflective exercises.
Whether you’re a peer facilitator or a support professional, this guide helps foster connection, dignity, and hope—one conversation at a time.
