Youth Engagement Service
The Public Health Agency has funded Youth Engagement Service across Northern Ireland to cater for the health improvement needs of children and young people aged 11-25 years old. This follows the piloting of a number of models across Northern Ireland.
Youth Engagement Service provides a youth friendly, holistic health and well-being service. These services are hubs where young people have opportunities to socialise in an alcohol and drug-free environment. Young people can also get advice and support on a range of issues from relevant services both on-site and off-site with the support of staff of the Youth Engagement Service.
There are currently eight Youth Engagement Services across Northern Ireland:
