Community Networks in the Northern Locality including @crun, @cwsan, @impact and @nacn hosted a showcasing event in partnership with @pha, commissioners for the NICHI(Networks Involving Communities in Health Improvement) and Suicide Prevention Projects to highlight the work and support for these projects over the 15 years.
We were delighted Minister for Health Robin Swann MLA, Aidan Dawson (PHA Chief Executive) and Colin Coffey (PHA Chairman) alongside other senior members of PHA Health Improvement Team North were keynote speakers and attendees at the event. A number of community organisations from across the Northern Locality were also present and we thank the groups who took part in the discussion panel and assisted in compering the event.
We would like to thank Dr. Helga Sneddon for her evaluation and OBA support to the Networks on measuring the impact and outcomes of the
community development approaches to promoting health and wellbeing and preventing suicide in the Northern locality.
