The Showcase Episode 1 - Young people Deserve to be Celebrated

Back in August, we held "The Showcase" a youth-led event filled with emotion, celebration, learning, and hope.

Check out the 1st episode of 3 part film documenting the day.

The film will show a snippet of amazing work going on within the Housing and Homelessness Team at the NIYF.

Please take a few minutes to complete our survey.

We are looking to gather information on Mental Health and Well being in Education.

If we want to transform Well-Being Education for all in Schools in the future this is the start. This survey will take no longer than 5 minutes and could provide us with crucial information.

Whatever you are experiencing it’s important to know
that you’re not alone and that you can get support.

We can also help you to get the right support that you need.
