Youth in Mind TALKS: Voices for Hope
Shining a light on the incredible resilience shown by young people and the professionals who support them, our latest virtual conference Voices for Hope promises to reinvigorate your practice. And in a year when COVID-19 continues to challenge our ways of working, NHS, local authority and voluntary sector speakers will be identifying challenges that the virus throws at us all and how to overcome them. You won’t want to miss this unique opportunity to learn, connect and be inspired.
“This is an amazing conference, so upbeat and positive!”
The Youth in Mind conference was born of Oxfordshire Youth and Oxfordshire Mind’s shared vision of better mental health for the county’s children, young people and families. Our partnership continues to raise awareness of the services available and develop cross-sector opportunities for anyone working with children, young people and families. Everyone is welcome, be they a part-time volunteer, school head teacher, NHS staff member or social worker.
“A great event, bringing so many diverse organisations together.”
