Coolmine TC – Kerry Hub based in the heart of Tralee, provides support, education and resources to individuals affected by substance use. Our services aim is to help people reduce or stop their substance use and improve their well-being within the community setting. We try to meet people in their own community by also offering the service in our outreach clinics in Killarney, Castleisland, Listowel and Di**le.

At Coolmine Kerry, we believe in meeting people where they are. Through group work, one-to-one keyworking, and community-based care plans, we support individuals in achieving their goals—whether that’s reducing use, abstaining, or accessing residential treatment.

“I found Coolmine Kerry almost a year ago. At a time in my life where I was at rock bottom, Coolmine Kerry opened their door to me and today my life has changed massively. Coolmine Kerry not only helped me get better, Coolmine saved my life.”

Beyond therapeutic interventions, we offer holistic and social supports like:
- Coffee mornings
- Mindfulness
- Art therapy
- Fitness classes
- Nature outings (including equine-assisted therapy and fishing trips)
…and so much more!

On Sunday, a group of clients from Coolmine Lodge travelled to Liverpool for a 7-team football competition, setting off at 5am and returning late that evening. It was a brilliant day filled with teamwork, respect and strong sporting spirit.

We are proud to share that Coolmine won the tournament, and a huge congratulations to Simon, who was awarded Player of the Tournament.

Teams played against addiction and recovery services including Liverpool Homeless Football Club and Wirral Ways Recovery, building friendships and support across the Irish Sea. Days like these highlight the power of positive activity and peer connection in recovery.

Thank you to everyone involved for making it such a meaningful experience.

Happy International Men’s Day!
Today is a day to celebrate all the men who make a positive difference in your life. Your fathers, grandfathers, brothers, sons, husbands, partners, and friends.
At Coolmine, we want to celebrate all our male clients who come to us for support. This year, we've had the privilege of supporting 1,384 men on their journey toward recovery.
We know that seeking help isn’t easy - especially for men. Many face stigma, societal expectations, or feel pressure to "tough it out" alone. But asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s an act of strength and courage.
To every man who has taken that brave step, we see you, we honour you, and we’re here for you. Together, we can break the barriers and rewrite the story of recovery.
If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, reach out. You’re not alone.

At Coolmine, recovery is about more than overcoming addiction - it’s about growth, learning, and connection.

Through the Erasmus+ programme, Coolmine staff and clients had the opportunity to take part in international exchanges and training across Europe in 2024, visiting partners in Spain, Slovenia, and beyond.

These experiences help build bridges across communities and cultures, allowing participants to share knowledge, learn new skills, and see recovery from a global perspective.

For clients, it’s a chance to grow in confidence, independence, and self-belief — proving that recovery opens doors to new opportunities. For staff, it strengthens professional development and brings fresh ideas back into our services.

We’re proud to support our participants as they represent Coolmine abroad, learning together and showing that recovery is about connection - both at home and across borders.

What a fantastic day on the pitch!

Our team from Coolmine Lodge took on Drogheda Services as part of the Irish Homeless Street League, coming away with a 4–2 win, but more importantly, with new friendships and shared respect on and off the pitch.

The Irish Homeless Street League has been an incredible outlet for our clients from both Coolmine Lodge and Ashleigh House, with several even representing Ireland at the Homeless World Cup in Oslo earlier this year.

This initiative provides so much more than sport - it’s about teamwork, belonging, and building confidence through shared goals and support.

We’re proud of every player who takes to the pitch, representing recovery, resilience, and community spirit.

A huge thank you to Mediolanum and their incredible partners for raising an amazing €1 million at last week’s Philanthropic Collective event.

Your generosity is helping us take a major step toward our long-term goal: establishing a permanent mother-and-child residential service in Ireland’s Mid-West—so no mother ever has to choose between recovery and her children.

It was a privilege to stand alongside Belvedere Youth Club and Sporting Liberties at this event—three charities united in creating positive change in Irish society.

The video above features our Chief Executive, Pauline McKeown, sharing the story of our nearly decade-long partnership with Mediolanum. She highlights the incredible impact their support has had on Coolmine’s services and looks ahead to how the Philanthropic Collective will continue to transform lives in the years to come..

For over 30 years, Ashleigh House has been Ireland’s only residential treatment centre where mothers and children recover side by side. Thanks to Mediolanum’s support through the Collective, this vision has already changed lives:
✅ Over 180 women and 90 children have benefited from upgraded facilities at Ashleigh House—modern bathrooms, energy-efficient windows, new kitchens, creche equipment, and more.
✅ These improvements are lasting, life-changing acts of care and dignity.

Now, with €700,000 ringfenced, we’re building toward a second centre of excellence in the Mid-West—capable of supporting up to 70 women and 50 babies and young children. This is a strategic investment in Ireland’s future, delivering measurable impact and hope for families who need it most.

Thank you, Mediolanum, Fondazione Mediolanum, and all partners for making this possible. Together, we are rewriting futures for families across Ireland.

We are thrilled to announce that Coolmine Lodge has been awarded a prize under the Special Category at the recent IPB Pride of Place Awards in Limerick!

We entered under the Climate Action and Biodiversity category, and it’s fantastic to be recognised for the sustainability work at Coolmine Lodge—a true testament to the hard work carried out daily by our incredible staff and clients.

A huge thank you to the Blakestown Drive Community Group for helping to bring this project to life, and to everyone involved (too many to name!). Special thanks to Fingal County Council—Leah, Pauline, and Rafe—for their guidance and support throughout the process.

This competition was about so much more than the prize. It was about community coming together to make positive change, and about giving our clients the chance to show off their home—the pride, care, and effort that goes into maintaining it every day.

Together, we’re building a sustainable future and stronger communities.

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome the Irish Cancer Society to Coolmine for an engaging and informative session with our clients.

A big thank you to Mary from the Irish Cancer Society for facilitating such a valuable discussion, and to our dedicated staff for supporting the session.

Collaboration like this helps strengthen the holistic approach to recovery - supporting not only sobriety but overall health and wellbeing.

What will your legacy be?

November is legacy month and a time to consider what you want to leave behind.

Every person who enters Ashleigh House has a story, and Elaine’s story left a legacy of hope. A generous and compassionate woman, Elaine overcame immense challenges with Coolmine's support in 1979. She never forgot the lifeline she received and left a legacy donation to create a wellness room at Ashleigh House — a sanctuary of peace and healing for women in recovery. This Legacy Month, honour Elaine by leaving your own legacy to help others find hope and renewal on their journeys.

By leaving a legacy donation, you can live on in the hearts and minds of others knowing that you offered someone a second chance and a new beginning. With your help, we can change the future for someone else and give them the opportunity to live a fulfilled and productive life.

At Coolmine, we provide transformative drug and alcohol treatment programmes that offer healing and fresh hope to thousands of people every year. The legacy of recovery extends beyond the individual to their family, friends, children, and communities.

So, please consider leaving a contribution to Coolmine in your will and help the next generation to enjoy a brighter future.
