With summer hurtling towards a close, preparations for the next school year are under way.  For those young people (and their families!) who have received their long-awaited A-Level results today, we have included vital links to support from the Careers Service to help for the next steps – See Pages 3-5.

 We encourage those organisations and services providing support and information on mental health and wellbeing to visit Page 40, for further information on adding your details to the Minding Your Head website, which aims to include all support available for all across Northern Ireland. This is a chance to get free promotion of your service.

See you in the next school year!

In this our third special edition you will find more information on summer activities taking place across the Southern Trust Area for children, young people and their families. This starts on Page 4. To access the two previous editions, just follow the links on Page 73. We have consistently been asked what provision is available in the summer time and know how valuable this is to families and also practitioners to be able to share.

Our next edition is on Thursday 17th July, so please bear this in mind when sharing your flyers and information – See Page 75 for details of all July to December newsletter dates & deadlines.

We hope you enjoy your summer and get a chance to have a well-earned break!
