A huge well done to everyone who took part in the ASIST training, delivered by the Extern SAFE Project and Crisis Intervention Team.

25 people are now better equipped with vital skills to support others in times of crisis, an incredible achievement by all involved. 👏

We’re proud to support Lifeline’s “It Helps to Talk” campaign 💚

At Extern, we know that opening up about how you’re feeling can be one of the hardest steps—but it can also be the most important. The “Talking Really Helps” campaign is all about encouraging honest conversations around anxiety, distress, and times of crisis, reminding everyone that they don’t have to face things alone.

Reaching out can make a real difference. If you or someone you know needs support, Lifeline is here to listen. You can call 0808 808 8000 for free, confidential support.

Let’s keep the conversation going—because talking really does help.

Extern Crisis Intervention Team and SAFE Project attended the Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes: Coercive Control Workshop at Ulster University’s Coleraine Campus.

The session provided valuable insight into recognising the signs of coercive control and understanding its impact. It also gave us the opportunity to learn, share experiences, and strengthen how we support individuals and families within our community.
