It was great to share our story recently with Liverpool Irish Festival Check it out 👇🏻 www.liverpoolirishfestival.com/a-message-to...

HRH joined discussions with experts, young people and parents on how to create communities where strong relationships can flourish, mental health problems are prevented before they emerge, and children and young people are supported to reach their full potential. www.annafreud.org/news/the-pri...

We welcomed a very special guest to Anna Freud today... 👀 Our Patron, HRH the Princess of Wales, visited us to explore how stronger relationships can help prevent mental health problems in children and young people.

Day 1 filming our sizzle reel! We started The Seanchaí Collective to amplify the everyday story of everyday people, and we said the first story we would tell would be our own. Our journey begins today! Next stop London! #Documentary #InárGcroíGoDeo #TellItOnceTellItRight

A lovely find recounting some of our story! youtu.be/yT17LVkGJzY

As we all celebrate Halloween this year, it’s a good time to mention the Celtic festival of Samhain, which is the root of the holiday we all know today. Samhain marks the end of harvest and the beginning of winter, and where the line between worlds thins 🧡🖤 🎃

As I remember my dad on the anniversary of his death, I am pulled into the majesty of the world watching the sunrise from the inner circle of Stonehenge. A privilege, I felt connected, grateful, small, mortal It’s important to stop, be present with your loved ones, breath in the world around us!

Amazing place ❤️

Fantastic evening at @IrelandEmbGB at the launch of Aunties in England telling the story of the changing relationship between Britain and Ireland through the stories of emigrant Irish women who travelled to London in the 1960s-1980s

Love this 💚

Beautiful day with family, rebalancing my mojo ❤️

A really lovely resource co-created by pupils 👇🏻

Great to spoil my team with a belated Easter gift at our team away day today! The world’s smallest Easter egg, all great things come in small packages! But planning the next few months, we’re inspired and motivated #Participation #TeamWork

Sad news this morning hearing the passing of Pope Francis, the first Latin American Pontiff aged 88 years. His was a story to be heard and made sure we heard the story of the poor and immigrants. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anamacha

Wishing you all a very happy Easter 🐣

I miss mum everyday but days like today even more so, can’t believe we found this video this week! A Mother’s love is indeed a blessing 💚

As a new organisation it’s so important to feel welcomed and supported in your local area, we’re delighted to be invited to an event with Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce as their guest Looking forward to networking and telling people all about The Seanchaí Collective 💚

Thank you to Uni of Nottingham for having me this morning, talking through a rights based approach to participation and the Lundy Model with your 2nd year trainer Education Psychologist’s - a fab group!

Extra special to present the award with our dear family friend Martin Grogan who was just this month recipient of the international award at the GAA Gradaim an Uachtaráin 2025

Huge congratulations to all involved, a great night 💚

The Irish Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth will host a two day showcase on participation This in-person event will take place over two days: - Tuesday 6th May for international attendees, and - Wednesday 7th May for domestic attendees.

We've been working hard to give young people's voices due weight in the mental health field. Naz says that "this really levels the playing field in terms of power, because often young people don’t feel they have much of that." Read her story here: orlo.uk/KeUnw

Continuing the celebration of the anniversary of the launch of Anna Freud’s participation strategy one of our parent champions Nicola shares her reflections of participation over the last 12 months

Too often, decisions are made without the voices of young people or their families being listened to. February marks the one year Anna-versary (see what we did there?) of our Participation Strategy. Read how we’ve embedded participation at Anna Freud: orlo.uk/XxadG

A reminder of two previously Co-created resources by our C&YP from Armed Forces families to welcome new arrivals to Highland - so proud of their work. New resources currently underway! armedforcesfamilieshighland.wordpress.com/childrens-ri... @bezmartin.bsky.social @jochamberlain.bsky.social
