The Changing Lives Initiative is a cross-border, community-led early intervention project to address neurodevelopmental conditions, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism.

THE CHANGING LIVES INITIATIVE: FLOURISH & THRIVE

Following an earlier successful INTERREG VA funded project around ADHD, the Changing Lives Initiative have successfully secured funding from the PEACEPLUS Programme for an exciting new 4-year cross-border project. The project will provide early intervention support to families of children with queried neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and Autism.

The Flourish & Thrive project is designed to pilot and support development of a new community based Early Intervention model for families of children with neurodevelopmental concerns. The project will deliver supports to over 8,700 parents and children in the project areas covering counties Louth, Cavan, Monaghan and the Belfast, South Eastern and Northern Trusts.

The project officially launched in September 2025 and offers a range of interventions to parents including workshops, short programmes, on-line supports and longer evidence-based parent programmes.  We will be updating our website over the coming months.  In the meantime, families who are interested in availing of our supports, can Express an Interest via the links below:
