Great morning with the Family Support Hubs hearing about the challenges they face, as well as the many success stories thanks to their vital work

We were delighted to recently welcome Mental Health Champion for NI, Professor Siobhan O’Neill to our offices in Ebrington. At a collaborative roundtable event, Prof O’Neill heard first-hand about the amazing work being done by Family Support Hubs to help children and families. Western Trust CYPSP in N.Ireland

I was truly moved by the incredible work that the Family Support Hubs do for vulnerable families & children. The services they are referring families to are being decimated due to funding cuts. Things are getting worse, & the need will increase with the proposed welfare cuts.

Great to meet @NICCY yesterday. Some key points from me: 🙁Lack of/ slow progress on many actions affecting YP in the MH Strategy (esp. crisis & transitions). 🙁Schools' Wellbeing Framework needs more investment so more YP can benefit. 🙁Increase in ACES & child poverty.

A privilege to speak at this important launch! I highlighted the challenges women & children in the immigration system face, as well as the appalling racism that they experience, & the mental health impact. We need a deep commitment to trauma informed practice across society.

Agreed. We urgently need legislative change, plus guidance for schools, and my Office is also working to support the delivery of both aspects of this.
