Children's conference on emotional well being

16/05/2007

Calling everyone and any one who works with 5-11 year olds in London.

YoungMinds are holding a children's conference (designed by primary aged children for primary aged children) to hear their voices on emotional support, what skills they feel that someone offering emotional support should have, what quality emotional support looks like in their eyes and what they feel helps
to build resilience and enable children to stay emotionally healthy through
troubled times.

YoungMinds would like to hear from children with and with out emotional
difficulties, so you do not need to be from a specialist service.

The conference will be held at the Office of the Children's Commissioner, 1
London Bridge, on July 6th -from 10.00 until 1.00 (lunch included).

If people would like to attend but need letters to be written to schools to
explain their absence on that day, YoungMinds is happy to undertake that
communication.

This is an exciting opportunity for younger children to feed in to having a
voice at a national level on mental health and emotional well-being. 

Download an outreach flier, booking form, photographic consent form and
information for adults about YoungMinds and how this conference feeds in to
shaping mental health services.

Please feel free to forward this on to other
people who you feel might be interested, but book early to avoid
disappointment!
