Staffcare works alongside organisations and their staff to support employees through periods of difficulty or stress that may have an impact on their health and wellbeing.

It was formed in 1992, following experience gained in responding to the psychological needs of those involved in major incidents such as air disasters and terrorist attacks. The service has evolved to include support for everyday stressful situations that affect home and work environments as well as offering training, consultancy and mediation.

Staffcare has a network of 250 counsellors who provide confidential counselling and support throughout Ireland and Britain to over 120 organisations and their employees. These include government departments, County Councils, Emergency Services, Hospitals, Social Services Departments, financial institutions, Educational Boards, and private companies. Staff numbers in such organisations range from 15 upwards.

Staffcare holds organisational membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and of the Association for Counselling at Work. Accreditation of counsellors is validated through BACP; the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP), the British Psychological Society and the Psyhological Society of Ireland and some counsellors have chosen to use the Association of Christian Counsellors.
