There are a wide range of services available to support children
and young people with emotional or mental health issues and so to
support their families the Northern Health & Social Services
Board commissioned Threshold (a leading voluntary organisation in
the field of mental health) to ask children and young people, their
parents and the professionals that work with them, what they knew
about these services. What emerged was that people (often including
the professionals) had only a patchy knowledge of what was available
and how it could be accessed and that they would appreciate a quick
and easy way of being able to access this sort of information whenever
they might need it.
This web site was conceived by the Northern Board to assist children,
young people, their parents and professionals. It contains details
and information on many (not all) of the services which exist to
support children and young people with emotional or mental health
issues.
As this is a web site directory, the details and information about
services can be added to and updated. If you would like to add or
amend information, please send details to ... Mr Kevin Keenan,
Assistant Director Social Services,
