The Public Health Agency (PHA) commissions a range of Mental Emotional Wellbeing and Suicide Prevention training programmes which are delivered across Northern Ireland. Training can range from increasing an individual’s awareness of mental health and wellbeing through to skills training in mental health and crisis intervention.
This monitoring report provides and overview of training delivered from April 2017 – March 2018. All information provided has been collated from the submission of training monitoring returns provided by programme facilitators working in the mental emotional wellbeing and suicide prevention area.

The Public Health Agency (PHA) commissioned Insight Solutions to deliver a number of stakeholder engagement events, to seek views that would inform the future procurement of services in order to implement the pending Protect Life 2 strategy.  Public engagement events were held in each of the Trust areas and a total of 12 meetings were held across Northern Ireland (at least two in each Trust area with a third in the Belfast area, due to population density and a number of interested stakeholders, and three in the western area due to the geographical spread of residents and services).

This report outlines the key findings of the recent health needs assessment carried out across Northern Ireland. The aim of the study was to provide baseline information on the health needs, barriers to accessing current services, and the care pathways that exist for those experiencing homelessness across NI. The study sought the views of those receiving support (‘clients’) and those providing that support (‘providers’) on a number of health and well-being indicators.
