Mapping out your Mental Health Priorities

The School of Thought Series: Lesson Two

Despite growing discussions on mental health in 6–16-year-olds, 75% of children and young people who experience a mental health problem aren’t getting the help they need. It’s clear that now is the time for a strategic approach to prioritising wellbeing and reducing inequalities – and education is a key component.

Join our on-demand webinar: “Mapping out your mental health priorities” – the second lesson in our School of Thought Series.

A panel not to be missed, IRIS Education host Tom Kershaw is joined for a discussion by guest speakers Paddy Sloan, Director of ‘A Million and Me’ at BBC Children in Need; and Annie Evans, Clinical Lead for Schools & Communities at Place2Be. Our experts discuss:
