World Salt Awareness Week (12-18th May)

Reducing salt in our diets is a quick and effective way to reduce our blood pressure and improve our health. We often don’t realise just how much salt we are eating because most of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy.

Hello and welcome to another edition of the Family Support Hub newsletter. What gorgeous weather we’ve been having. Fingers crossed it stays for the Easter break!!

I’ve got to be out and about at a range of events and there’s a lot going on, not least the recent Hub Coordinators Day in Dungannon, CiNI launch of the School Anxiety and Distress best practice guide and Bolster Communities celebration and awards event in the Canal Court, more information on these events is included in the body of the newsletter. It’s been so uplifting to witness the showcasing of organisations, families and individuals who are working so hard towards improving outcomes for the wider community.

If you have an event, celebration or launch you’re planning in the coming weeks please get in touch and we’ll be happy to include your good news in future newsletters.

Whilst out and about and chatting about the CYPSP resources and information streams I’ve spoken to a range of people who were surprised to hear about the range of information streams and free to use resources on the CYPSP website. I would ask that you take a few minutes to think about other colleagues, friends or organisations that might benefit from this information. If you do, please take a minute to forward it on to them. If anyone wants to be added to the mailing list for the Newsletter please email cypsp@hscni.net and we’ll get you added. Also, please take the time to explore the CYPSP website and the fabulous resources on offer such as the Youth Wellness Web.

A very warm welcome to the first edition of the Family Support Hub Newsletter of 2025. We’re already into the second month and half term beckons. In this edition we have lots of information on events and services that can support families and young people. As always we have information on the fabulous Youth Wellness Web. This was co-designed and produced with young people for young people and has lots of really useful information tailored by age group. There is a section designed for teachers and parents to help them to support their young people and children. It’s an excellent example of the work of the Children and Young People’s Partnership, the same partnership the Family Support Hub Network sits within. As this newsletter is coming out towards the end of Children’s Mental Health Week, you will see we have provided a break down of the data our Information Team collate to evaluate the reach and use. Please take the time to have a look and please, please promote the Youth Wellness Web to your friends, colleagues and most importantly to any young people in your lives.

It is also packed full of information for parents/carers, early years, children & young people with a disability,  mental health and wellbeing advice,  Helplines and much more – make sure you download your copy now!
