Futureproof promoting the CYPSP Youth Wellness Web in the Banbridge Locality

 

Futureproof, delivering the PHA-funded Youth Engagement Service (YES), were recently invited by New-Bridge Integrated College to deliver an information session to Year 11 pupils. The session covered issues affecting young people and where to access appropriate help and support. One resource the young people were signposted to was the Youth Wellness Web, an online resource, funded and created by CYPSP in partnership with young people, to provide a clear and quality-assured source of information on children and young people’s emotional wellbeing and mental health. All attendees were also provided with an information sheet on how to access key services such as Text-A-Nurse, Childline and Lifeline.
