New programme of speech and language support for families

Your Healthcare’s Children's Speech and Language Team has introduced an innovative approach to supporting families by relaunching their Facebook page and Instagram account, with a programme of new content for families with children who have speech, language and communication needs and/or swallowing needs. The social media pages will serve as a virtual support system, offering tips, resources, personalised and original content and a platform for connection among families experiencing similar challenges.

The re-worked Facebook and Instagram page will also feature engaging video featuring the children’s speech and language team. Families can access practical advice on how to encourage communication skills at home and join activities such as book clubs and coffee mornings.

Carmel Brady, children’s speech and language lead, commented, “We know there is a real thirst for information and support among families who have a child with speech and language difficulties, so we are truly delighted to provide trusted, tailored information for parents. Our goal is to empower them to effectively support their children’s speech and language needs”.
