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!

Previous editions of the newsletter are available at  http://www.cypsp.hscni.net/family-support-hubs  under Family Support Newsletter section.

The emotional wellbeing and good mental health of children and young people is always a top priority for relevant services and organisations. This week is Children’s Mental Health Week and next Tuesday, 11th February, is Safer Internet Day, so we are sharing information relevant to these areas which has been submitted by our contacts. Please share any of this which may be of use.

Thanks to all who provided information on upcoming training opportunities, events, parenting programmes, youth programmes, resources, funding opportunities and surveys for inclusion in this special edition of ‘FYI’.

 We hope that this issue is helpful to practitioners, parents & carers working across / living in the Southern Trust Area.

This webinar will examine a range of emerging online trends, themes and patterns of behaviour. It will consider how the context of a young person’s offline life and vulnerabilities can accelerate pathways to real harm in the virtual world. Critically, it will focus on the potential to use technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to educate, empower and protect entire communities. 

The webinar is open to members and non-members with an interest in children and safeguarding services
