A message from the Chair

Dear NEEB Member,

The 'road to recovery' from the Covid Pandemic, has been announced by the Government in recent days, but in so doing, we remain mindful of our regional members working in all public facing roles, especially those working with vulnerable individuals, and those, who face the reality of the fragility of life on a daily basis.

We also respect those members who volunteer their time to provide therapeutic support to Front-Line staff, working for our Statutory Agencies and Emergency Services, and those who are also supporting Teachers and Parents; the committee wish you all well for the coming months.

For information from the BPS relating to Covid-19 and access to resources for both public and professionals, visit the BPS Covid-19 webpage where, you will find official guidelines, online tools, and various videos the BPS have produced in response to the current crisis. The February edition of the NEEB Newsletter is now ready, where you will find:

Your thoughts matter to us; we encourage you to get involved and get in contact with us, please share your opinions, quizzes, poems, an event, or an achievement in our next newsletter in the spring.

Contact [email protected] with any contributions, queries or suggestions.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Paul-John Griffiths CPsychol AFBPsS
