Welcome to the April edition of the Family Support Hub Newsletter. As usual, you’ll find lots of information on services and events in your area and useful resources. We also have an interview with Lisa Grant, the co-ordinator for the Craigavon, Portadown and Banbridge Family Support Hub. Lisa isn’t one for the limelight so I really appreciate her taking the time to speak with me and agreeing to be our featured co-ordinator. We’re always looking at ways to improve and expand our Newsletter so if you have any ideas or suggestions please get in contact, all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Issue 122 – Southern Area FYI – 22 March 2024

Welcome to Issue 122 of our fortnightly newsletter, ‘FYI’ (For Your Information).

Download Issue 122

Please take a couple of minutes to complete a very short survey on ‘FYI’ which will give you the chance to suggest ways we can improve this invaluable resource – See page 3.

You will see in this edition, two great new sources of information and support which have been raised at our Locality Planning Groups over the last couple of years. The first, on page 21, gives you links to the new Bereaved NI database on bereavement support and offers a range of essential support for all ages. The second, on page 33, is the recently-produced guidance by the PHA on vaping, providing factual information and advice to inform young people, teachers, parents/carers and others working with young people about vaping, the law and associated risks.
