Barnardo's have launched a brand new emotional wellbeing service – See, Hear, Respond.

 

This service will work with children and young people in Northern Ireland who might need additional support to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic, offering practical and therapeutic support. It will also offer advice and guidance to any adults who are concerned about a child’s mental health and wellbeing.

 

For more information please follow the link below.

The impact of the lockdown on children and young people has not just been academic but also emotional. A lot of parents are extremely concerned about the anxiety that their children are exhibiting during this time. As a result, GSAP commissioned Máire Dunne and Resilio to create online videos to assist parents, on their children’s return to school.

There are 4 short videos and they will help parents with strategies and techniques, that will help their children cope.

Topics for each Week:

1. Where the Story Began
2. Understanding our Emotions
3. Adapting to the New Norm
4. Top Tips and Support Below is the video for Week 1
