Crisis Café Youth Feedback Survey
We’re now ready to launch the Crisis Café Youth Feedback Survey — a short, anonymous questionnaire designed to hear directly from the young people who use our service. This is a key part of our research project and aligns with our Theory of Change to help secure future funding and improve how we support local youth.

• What to Know:
• It’s completely anonymous
• It takes under 5 minutes
• It’s designed to be trauma-informed and accessible to ages 11–25
• No login or email is required
Please share this link with service users past/present only:

Thank you for helping make young people’s voices heard. Their input will directly shape how we grow, adapt, and advocate for better support across Newry, Mourne and Down.

Warm regards,

Many anxious behaviours have been learned so it stands to reason that anything that has been learned can be unlearned. In fact, neural flexibility shows us that thoughts and behavioural patterns can be changed over time.

If you feel your child / young person is struggling with anxious thoughts, please feel reassured that this belief system can be challenged and reframed leading to a more healthy and rational belief system.

Please contact a member of the team for advice.

Next meet up Tuesday 9th September at 7pm.

Talking Autism - Parents and Carers Peer Support Group.

Bring a towel or yoga mat as there is a relaxation session planned to help revitalise after the summer holidays and kids off school.

This group was set up by parents and continues to be facilitated by parents. They meet on the second Tuesday of each month at Crisis Cafe from 7-8.30pm. New members always welcome.

Parents and Carers Autism Peer Support Group aims to create a supportive and understanding community for parents and carers of autistic children and young people. (A diagnosis is not necessary).

The group aims are

Support and Empowerment – Provide emotional and practical support to parents and carers, helping them feel less isolated.

Shared Experience & Understanding – Offer a safe space for parents and carers to share experiences, challenges, and successes.

Education & Awareness – Increase understanding of autism, neurodiversity, and strategies for supporting autistic children.

Advocacy & Inclusion – Promote the rights and needs of autistic children and their families within the community, education, and healthcare systems.

Resilience & Wellbeing – Encourage self-care and resilience among parents and carers to support their own mental and emotional health.

For further information DM page or just come along.
