We hope that everyone is back & feeling refreshed after the recent Easter break. It seems that local services & organisations have hit the ground running, as we have a wide range of training opportunities, workshops, events, parenting programmes & activities for families included in what is another jam-packed edition of our newsletter!
Be sure to take a look on Page 3, which includes a link to download the NI Outcome Monitoring Report 2023/24, recently published by CYPSP, full of multi-agency population indicators. This is a great resource for assessing need and planning services and can also be used as evidence for funding opportunities.
Stay connected!

As Easter is just around the corner, you will see our CYPSP Children & Young People’s Resource Pack on page 3, providing a wide range of activities to do during the school break.
On the subject of school, page 25 has got links to download the great new resource produced by CiNI to support schools on the prevalent issue of anxiety-based school avoidance. Both of these resources are FREE.
This edition of ‘FYI’ also contains information on upcoming training opportunities, events, resources and links for you, colleagues and families to avail of.
We hope you have a lovely Easter and catch up in two weeks time!
