The Centre has teamed up with St Vincent’s Centre in East Belfast to support them in the delivery of their Big Lottery Awards for All grant. St Vincent’s was established (by St Joseph’s) to support pupils, who could not manage mainstream school due to social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. The school has 25 boys and 1 girl referred by the Education Authority, from schools all over Belfast. There are 3 distinct audiences for the project: 1. The pupils and their challenging behaviours and limited resilience, 2. The parents and their engagement with their children’s education, and 3. The local community and their engagement with the school.

The Centre will be delivering complementary therapies for parents and pupils, Aromatherapy classes for parents, pupils and staff, community health days and Mindfulness training for parents, pupils and teachers.
