Promoting Good Mental Health - A Lisburn Approach (360G-CR-4289046)

The Resurgam Trust in Lisburn will address poor mental health in some of the most deprived wards in the Lisburn local authority area. Lisburn has some of the most challenging levels of deprivation, educational attainment and child poverty in Northern Ireland. Local surveying highlights high levels of poor youth mental health, access to services, and trans-generational trauma associated with the Troubles. Resurgam's 'Lisburn Approach' harnesses the community to train young peer mentors, create mental health champions, train professionals, and target parents. The overall aim is to make sustained positive changes in the lives of young people so they have a brighter future.
