The emotional wellbeing and good mental health of children and young people is always a top priority for relevant services and organisations. This week is Children’s Mental Health Week and next Tuesday, 11th February, is Safer Internet Day, so we are sharing information relevant to these areas which has been submitted by our contacts. Please share any of this which may be of use.

Thanks to all who provided information on upcoming training opportunities, events, parenting programmes, youth programmes, resources, funding opportunities and surveys for inclusion in this special edition of ‘FYI’.

 We hope that this issue is helpful to practitioners, parents & carers working across / living in the Southern Trust Area.

Please spread the word!

This webinar will examine a range of emerging online trends, themes and patterns of behaviour. It will consider how the context of a young person’s offline life and vulnerabilities can accelerate pathways to real harm in the virtual world. Critically, it will focus on the potential to use technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to educate, empower and protect entire communities. 

The webinar is open to members and non-members with an interest in children and safeguarding services

Happy New Year to all and we look forward to sharing information, resources and opportunities with you in 2025.

As always, we welcome those who wish to attend our Locality Planning Group meetings, so give us a shout and we can set up a quick Zoom meeting to tell you all about them, how they operate, and how important they can be to you & your organisation/service/group.

It’s a lengthy edition to kick off the year as we have had 4 weeks between this and our last edition. Now we will revert to our fortnightly editions so keep the information coming!

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!!
