Children & Young People infected with coronavirus often have mild illness, or no symptoms. However, they are still able to spread the virus. We would ask you to encourage those C&YP you work with to be heroes and wear masks and help reduce the spread and protect others. Keep following the public health advice for COVID19 – these steps may seem simple, but they are effective in reducing the spread.

Children and young people in Northern Ireland have been significantly affected by the restrictions associated with lockdown, with their natural desire to play curbed, potentially impacting their long-term health, wellbeing and development, according to new research published by PlayBoard NI, the lead agency for play in Northern Ireland.
Early this year, PlayBoard surveyed children and young people ranging in age from five to 18 years, from across Northern Ireland about their experiences during lockdown, with a focus on play and education.

Intergenerational Trauma Conference - 19 & 20 January 2021
The 2nd Intergenerational Trauma Conference will take place, virtually, on 19th and 20th January 2021 .
This important international event brings together world-leading authorities and experts in the field of intergenerational trauma and trauma recovery. Understand and be aware of the many factors surrounding intergenerational trauma and look deeper into inherited behaviours and epigenetics. As trauma is passed down from generation to generation, the impact it has on the expression of our genes can be hugely significant. This new field of study uncovers the roots of pain so that present generations may be healed and future generations might not be impacted.
Conference programme and tickets can be found at:
