A research team from University College Dublin (UCD) is inviting family members and carers of adults aged 40 and over with an intellectual disability who are supported by St. Michael's House to take part in a research study exploring ageing and future planning.

The study aims to gain a better understanding of the experiences, hopes and priorities of families and carers as they plan for the future. The findings will help inform future research and contribute to improving supports for people with intellectual disabilities and their families.

If you are a parent, sibling, extended family member or carer of an adult aged 40 and over who is supported by St. Michael's House, you are invited to take part.

To find out more or express your interest in participating, please email suzanne.guerin@ucd.ie or scan the QR code on the poster below.

We encourage anyone who is eligible and interested in contributing to this important research to get involved. By sharing your experiences, you can help shape future understanding of ageing and future planning for people with intellectual disabilities and their families.
