Following last year's successful Children & Young People Conference in 2022, hosted by Young Harrow Foundation, On 5th July 2023, we will be hosting the next event, with a focus on mental health.
Harrow's schools, the local voluntary sector, and public sector services will join together to improve pathways, access and awareness of Mental Health services and support for children & young people. This year, we are joined by the renowned Anna Freud Centre who will also be helping Harrow Council and partners to embed a new community youth mental health framework (THRIVE Framework). This event is an opportunity to hear more about it and to help shape what the THRIVE framework will look like for Harrow and for your day-to-day work.
The event is open to all of our members to attend (not only specialist mental health services).
Please reserve your space HERE
For mental health / emotional well-being-specific providers, there will be a chance to exhibit your services.
Please additionally sign up HERE to be an exhibitor. |

CYP Partnership
In March, YHF attended the CYP integration event, and we were happy to see some of our Members there, making sure the voice of the voluntary sector is being considered in the Integrated CYP offer being developed. They are hosting a second workshop on 7th June. We will share details of this when we receive it, but if you'd like to discuss the partnership get in touch with Ceri. |
