Thank you to Nick Mathison MLA for taking the time to meet with us this week. Nick serves as the Chair of the Committee for Education at the Northern Ireland Assembly and this was a great opportunity to discuss a range of important topics.
Alongside Kathryn Stanford, our PEACE of Mind Project Manager, we talked about the ways in which that programme is helping young people across Northern Ireland build resilience and access support that is grounded, evidence-informed and responsive to their needs.
We also stressed the importance of early intervention and prevention, the connection between education and mental health, and why improving outcomes is a responsibility that extends beyond the Department of Health.
It was a productive, positive conversation. We look forward to continuing the engagement and working together to support the mental health and wellbeing of young people.
