The sun is out so, of course, it must be Back To School time! We have included links to great resources on pages 34 and 36 to help parents and children at this important time.

On page 29 there is a link to the recently published report from the Mental Health Champion: “Factors Affecting Mental Health and Wellbeing in Children and Young People in Northern Ireland”. This gives the findings of a recent study of children and young people which is essential reading for parents, caregivers and professionals. We hope you can take the time to read it!
