Connecting Schools & Colleges to Support for Young People
Harrow’s 2023 Children & Young People Support Conference
On 4th July 2023, Harrow's schools (primary, secondary, colleges), the local voluntary sector, and public sector services will come together to improve pathways, access and awareness of support services for children & young people in Harrow, with a spotlight on mental health and emotional wellbeing.
This year, we are joined by the Anna Freud Centre (the new Harrow Horizon’s delivery partner), who will be key in working alongside Harrow Council, NHS and local Partners with the implementation of the 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.
