A Mental Health Conference for Anyone Working with Children and Young People
We are delighted to be bringing back this informative, innovative and inspiring one-day conference. Last year saw over 500 people coming together with a shared goal of supporting and improving the mental health of all young people in Oxfordshire.
This year, we have listened to our delegates and will be covering the topics that they felt are most necessary to address. We will also be providing more resources and toolkits for use in your setting with young people. The conference will support delegates to respond to the mental health crisis in an informed, practical and inclusive way.
Why Exhibit?
Hosting a stall at Youth in Mind is great value for money, the large market place was buzzing last year with a cross sector representation of people who work with children and young people. It is a wonderful opportunity to network and
Promote your services while also discovering new opportunities to collaborate within the sector and learning from local and national experts about children and young people’s mental health. Conference delegates will include school leaders and staff, third sector organisations, and NHS professionals.
