Well done to Francis Chance @PEIN_Ire & @Tanya_Ward @ChildRightsIRL on tonight's Prime Time for highlighting the fundamental importance of PHNs in early childhood health & development and flagging retention and recruitment of PHNs as a whole-of-government issue #first1000days

[PEIN @PEIN_Ire]

#Budget2023 needs to champion prevention and early intervention.
With the cost of living soaring now, implementing counteractive measures later in the year is too late. We need to give children & families smoke alarms, not send emergency services once the fires are blazing

[Yvonne Leckey @LeckeyYvonne]

@PEIN_Ire @Archways18 @JenniferHRos @maryholmes1 @LifestartFdn @Lifestart_LSL @Traceyamonson @Barnardos_IRL @Lana_Cummins @ELI_Docklands Really enjoyed catching up in person with everyone and hearing about the great work being done in Limerick!

“In all my years with this service I’ve never seen so many families getting to the point of being cut off from electricity, having to make choices about what they are going to go with or without this week,” @Barnardos_IRL staff member.

Ireland needs to start training all frontline professionals in the effects of #trauma as Scotland is doing. As a GP in @suzannezeedyk excellent thread says:
"It is a betrayal of patients & clinicians that I was never taught in medical school about the lasting effects of trauma."

[The Parenting Network @TheParentingNe1]

As today sees the PRIMERA launch - Promoting Research & Innovation in Mental Health Services for Families - we're starting our Parenting Network member profiles with @CMHCR_maynooth

Dream come true 💛 @Vicar_Street

[Duane Doogan @DuaneDoogan]

Used to watch these growing up, some a hundred times, dreaming of maybe going to see shows like this at Vicar Street one day.

Tomorrow my name is on the ticket for one of these shows. Playing here became a dream a few years ago and I cannot wait.
