Back to School Family Support Hubs Newsletter

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

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.
