Children and Family Services in Northern Ireland
The earlier children get support, the more likely they are to fulfil their potential. The first five years of a child’s life can make a significant difference in terms of their overall life chances.
This is when key foundations are laid for future health, well-being, relationships, educational attainment and employment.
We provide a range of support services to families and their children with a learning disability, developmental delay and/or autism.
Our programmes include Early Intervention Support for 2 – 3 year olds within Mencap Children’s Centre and a range of family support interventions.
