Leitrim Local Authority Integration Team adhere to the principle of ‘Integration from Day One,’ providing individuals with the resources and support necessary to integrate fully into Irish society, regardless of where they ultimately settle. This approach ensures that integration is not limited to their initial location but extends to becoming active, engaged members of communities across Ireland.

The Local Authority Integration Team supports eligible individuals by providing information, integration supports, advice, and guidance on local services that can assist you in integrating into the community and achieving independent living. Our areas of support include health and wellbeing, family and community life, employment, education, and everyday living in Ireland.

We act as a central point of contact, offering information, guidance, and advice as queries arise.

We collaborate with local and national organisations to identify barriers to integration and work together to develop effective solutions.
