We are part of a coalition of charities calling for fully funded primary school counselling in Northern Ireland.

While welcoming 'Transforming children and young people’s mental health provision: a green paper', BACP, BPC and UKCP raise serious concerns about its ambition and its ability to deliver the support needed for our children and young people.

A central pillar of our campaign work has been to better understand the negative mental health impact of the ongoing cost-of-living crisis on our members, counselling services, clients and the wider population.
