In our last edition of ‘FYI’ for 2024, we would like to wish you greetings for the festive season.

It has been another challenging year for families and supporting services, but we still need to highlight and promote the work carrying on from all sectors in the Southern Area and across Northern Ireland. They continue to be more vital than ever!

Please keep sending us your information and we will do our best to keep spreading the word!!

The run up to Christmas hasn’t eased the workload of key services and organisations supporting children, young people and families. A lot of colleagues we have spoken with are under more pressure to support families at this time of the year with practical and emotional support. Please have a look through this edition of ‘FYI’ and, if there is anything that may be of use to you, your colleagues or families with whom you work, then be sure to pass on this vital information.

Our next edition, and the last issue of 2024, will be on Thursday 5^th December, so please make sure any submissions for inclusion are with us by Tuesday 3^rd December.

With the half-term breaking coming up, the next issue of ‘FYI’ will be circulated in three weeks time, on Thursday 7^th November. (We’ll send out a reminder closer to the time!).

In the meantime, next Monday, 21^st October, sees the start of Parenting Week. We have included, in this edition, a wide range of support and opportunities for parents, and encourage as many people to avail of these resources as possible.

 Have a listen to the fantastic Podcast on Page 34 on Anxiety-Based School Avoidance by Parentline NI, where they share some of the stories and experiences from parents and shine a light on this pertinent issue.
