Key message from Mary Donaghy @HSCBoard that we need to strengthen family focused practice to promote health and wellbeing #youthwellbeingni @QUBelfast @UlsterUni

[NI Commissioner for Children and Young People @nichildcom]

Very concerning findings from the #youthwellbeingni study. A stark reminder of the continuing impact of the Troubles and the role of “paramilitary” orgs. That last figure states that 52% of young people agreed that paramilitary grps contributed to crime in their communities.

My speech from the launch of the #YouthWellBeingNI study this morning.

A landmark study that will inform NI's new Mental Health Strategy, and advance our understanding of mental health, mental illness and transgenerational trauma.

Thanks to all involved. 💛
