Help Kids Talk
Help Kids Talk is a project within Early Intervention Lisburn (EIL) which is led by the Resurgam Community Development Trust, the SEHSCT Speech and Language Therapy Team, Barnardos NI, and Early Intervention Lisburn partnership). The Help Kids Talk vision is that “everyone will work together to help kids talk”.
The project is a community-wide initiative and aims to ensure everyone who has any responsibility for a child prioritises speech, language, and communication development. This project will result in a positive impact across all areas of a child’s life including educational attainment, mental health and wellbeing, social relationships, and employability later in life.
