The Social and Health Education Project works through training and other supports to help people develop the capacities necessary to bring about constructive change in their own lives, in their relationships with others, in their communities, and in the wider world.  

The overall aim of the Project is…

To enable people to achieve personal effectiveness: the capacity to discern and adopt health-enhancing and socially just behaviours which optimise individual and community wellbeing and promote the integrity of the natural environment.
 

SHEP's primary work area is in Counties Cork and Kerry in the south-west of Ireland.  The project also supports the work of partners operating in other parts of the world. 

SHEP is a registered charity (CHY9974) and a not-for-profit company which is limited by guarantee (no. 167824).  Its registered office is at Village Chambers, Station Road, Ballincollig, Co. Cork, Ireland.
