Help Kids Talk

Posted on by

 

Help Kids Talk is an award winning project within Early Intervention Lisburn (EIL) which is led by the Resurgam Community Development Trust, the SEHSCT Speech and Language Therapy Team, Barnardo’s NI, and Early Intervention Lisburn partnership. Help Kids Talk is funded by the Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council. The Help Kids Talk vision is that “everyone will work together to help kids talk”.

The project is a community-wide initiative and aims to ensure everyone with responsibility for babies, children or young people, prioritises their speech, language, and communication development. This project will result in a positive impact across all areas of a child’s life including educational attainment, mental health and wellbeing, social relationships, and employability later in life.

 

 

We run a social media campaign based around 12  key messages of the month, which have been developed as guidance for parents, carers and practitioners to promote early attachment and SLC skills. https://www.facebook.com/helpkidstalk
