As she steps into her new role, Dr Reidy aims to build on the strong foundation laid by her predecessors.
She is also enthusiastic about exploring new opportunities for the charity to engage with the community, enhance its services, and foster partnerships with other local organisations.
The charity has been providing free counselling and support to 11 to 25-year-olds and their families for more than 20 years.
The importance of its work has grown as young people face increasing pressures from social media, academic demands, and the post-pandemic world.
