Brilliant 👏 @Chris_Lyttle thank you always been a supporter. The need is there, our research report shows this and shows what is needed. 💜💛💜💛💜💛💜 – at Belfast, Northern Ireland

Great to hear! This needs to be taken serious by this executive and not just a token gesture. We would love to engage with this working group to give the views of young people on this serious issue. @niexecutive @DeirdreHargey @DUPleader @moneillsf @RobinSwannMfH @naomi_long – at Belfast, Northern Ireland

Thanks for the shout out @nichildcom. This is doable, there are various mental health charities and campaigns who have very simple asks which can help so much. Ours are: 1. Mental health curriculum programme 2. Online safe space 3. Mental health dictionary. #mentalhealth 💜🐘💛 – at Belfast, Northern Ireland

Fantastic meeting discussing a range of issues. But most importantly mental health with @belfastcc "people and communities committee". An important conversation in what we see as a crisis. @sinnfeinireland @duponline @SDLPlive @allianceparty @CllrBlack @SeamasBelfast @RonanMcL93
