About us

For almost 50 years in Northern Ireland and 21 years in the Republic of Ireland Extern has worked alongside our funding partners to provide solutions to some of the most difficult societal issues. Annually, we passionately support and speak out for over 15,000 children, individuals, and families. Our commitment lies in enabling them to triumph over their adversities, fostering positive change, and strengthening family bonds for a brighter future. But our commitment doesn't stop there. We provide shelter, guidance, and hope to those experiencing homelessness, refugees seeking refuge, the resilient Traveller community, individuals with past challenges, and those grappling with the weight of mental health, addiction, and the aftermath of suicide. Together, we ignite the sparks of transformation in their lives, bringing warmth and hope to every corner of our island

    🌟 Congratulations to Our Team! 🌟 A huge congratulations to our Extern Community Crisis Intervention Service staff who have successfully completed their training in NADA Ear Acupuncture! The Community Crisis Intervention Service (CCIS) at Extern provides immediate, short-term support to individuals in acute distress, offering a compassionate response in times of crisis. Our team is trained to offer a range of interventions, including NADA Ear Acupuncture, which is known for its benefits in reducing stress, anxiety, and trauma. NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) Ear Acupuncture is a simple, yet powerful technique that involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the ear. It can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and emotional distress, making it an excellent addition to our crisis intervention toolkit. By integrating NADA Ear Acupuncture, we enhance our ability to support those in need with holistic, non-invasive methods that complement our existing services. Our goal is to provide immediate relief and long-term recovery. Find out more about the project here: https://lnkd.in/evC9pkgr

    Last week, we welcomed a group of 10 students who are participating in Business in the Community Northern Ireland’s employability project in conjunction with Extern, to a work experience event at our Mallusk facility, where we gave them an insight into the careers available within the waste management sector and the world of work. During the visit, the students received a tour of our facility and overview of the dry mixed recycling processes, in addition to hearing about the different types of jobs that the waste management sector offers, health and safety, and tips on interviews. We were delighted to host the group from Extern and hope the information they gained will help inform their path to a successful career. #RiverRidge #RethinkingResources #WasteManagement #Waste #NIBusiness #ExternGroup #WorkExperience
