Several gazebos and groups of people are visible in the background. The design features blue and turquoise curved borders, with the text “Feel Good Armagh” at the top left, “Services Resource” at the bottom right, and “2026 Edition” at the bottom left.This FREE resource gives you information on a range of supports and opportunities available for all ages in the Armagh area.

Feel Good Armagh is a local multi-agency initiative aimed at increasing awareness of support and services for all ages of communities in the Armagh Area.

Since 2023, member organisations have hosted an annual event with the aim of connecting people of all ages with local organisations, under the Feel Good Armagh banner.

Services evolve, funded programmes are sometimes only temporary and personnel can change. So, the Autumn 2026 edition of the Feel Good Armagh Services Resource provides an updated version of last year’s booklet.

If your organisation is not included in this year’s edition, but you would like to be, please e-mail localityplanning@ci-ni.org.uk.

We hope you find the information included useful and please do share the details on!

The Solihull Approach is an early intervention model that focuses on the importance of infant brain development and its relevance to infant mental health and child development.

The approach provides practitioners with:

  • A robust understanding based on neuroscience of the importance of the first three years and how to support infants/children to have the best start in life.
  • A theoretical framework for practitioners to reframe how to approach their work with children and families.

Posted on by

The Back to School edition of the Family Support Newsletter is now available: – https://cypsp.hscni.net/download/391/family-support-hubs/48999/fshnewsletter_aug2026.pdf

Colourful “Welcome Back to School” graphic on a black chalkboard-style background. Large yellow script text reads “Welcome,” with bold white chalk-effect text reading “BACK” and multicoloured letters spelling “TO SCHOOL.” Decorative school-themed illustrations include pencils, books, a backpack, stars, confetti, and fireworks in bright colours around the text.As summer holidays come to an end and a new school year begins, many families will be busy getting back into routines, preparing school bags, and helping children and young people settle into the months ahead. While this time of year can be exciting, it can also bring a few worries and challenges, especially when children are starting a new school, moving up a year group, or adapting to new routines.

In this edition, we’ve gathered together a range of information, activities and support services to help families make the transition back to school as smooth as possible.

Whether you’re looking for practical advice, local opportunities, or information about the support available in your area, we hope you’ll find something useful inside.
