We are happy to announce the launch of the most recent report from HBSC Ireland – Trends in Health Behaviours, Health Outcomes and Contextual Factors between 1998-2018: findings from the Irish Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Study. The report was formally launched on Monday 8th March by Minister of State with responsibility for Public Health, Wellbeing and National Drugs Strategy, Frank Feighan T.D. on behalf of the Department of Health.
The report is available to download from the HBSC Ireland website http://www.nuigalway.ie/hbsc/hbsctrends/
This report explores the trends in the health and well-being of children in Ireland between 1998 and 2018. The Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) Ireland study has been collecting data from school-aged children aged 10-17 over a period of 20 years; data were collected in 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018. This trends report reviews the self-reported health status and behaviours of children in Ireland over this time period in relation to key indicators: the contexts of their lives, health behaviours and health outcomes.
We would like to thank all the children who completed questionnaires as part of HBSC studies over the years, their parents and the teachers and school Principals who facilitated the data collection. Thanks too to the Department of Health and the national HBSC advisory group who have guided and informed our work.

Ellie in first class will be the youngest student in the school so far who has ever donated her hair to a charity. Ellie and her mum will be giving their locks to the Little Princess Trust charity that make wigs for children and young people who lose their hair due to illnesses like cancer. But it is amazing how much it actually costs to make such a wig and so Ellie is not stopping there. She is also fundraising to help towards the cost of a wig so that children who need wigs can have them for free. If you would like to help Ellie you can donate here https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/natasha-keane4

Dear Anna,
I trust this finds you well, and that the children and teachers are enjoying the sunshine.
With children who have additional needs and their families in mind, I'm writing to let you know that I'm running an integrative healthcare service in Kinvara, in the premises of Dr. Matt O'Flaherty's Medical Clinic. I have a particular interest in supporting people in managing stress in their lives, and promoting resilience and regulation of the nervous system. My services include reflexology and craniosacral therapy. Alongside the hands-on aspect of the treatments, where appropriate I offer clients skills they can practice and use in daily life to help feel more centered and settled. Nutrition and lifestyle factors that support optimal health are also considered.
Having worked as an Occupational Therapist in children's disability services and in CAMHS, I see huge value in supporting the wellbeing of the whole family. Therefore, I'm offering a 15% discount to parents of children with additional needs. My standard rate for a consultation or treatment is €60 per hour. Children's sessions may be shorter than an hour and are charged proportionately. As you'll be aware, often the siblings of children with special needs also benefit from some support for their resilience and regulation.
Please don't hesitate to give me a call on 087-6606650 if you would like to have a chat. You can find more information on my website www.jennylambert.ie
Warm regards,
Jenny Lambert
