Are you looking for a new way forward for wellbeing - for adults and young people - at work or at home?
Stronger Relationships. Healthier Communities. Empowered Local Leaders
When it comes to the wellbeing of young people and adults there are many current concerns.. in addition to mental health needs, and lack of support for SEND, there are rising concerns around challenging and anti-social behaviour, school non-attendance, and bullying, organised crime, vulnerability to alcohol and drug addiction, child abuse and neglect.
With very high numbers in the care system and concern about the high levels of placement breakdowns, not to speak of many lonely adults in a social care system under severe strain, it is clear we need more than just a few tweaks to address what is happening. In the midst of all this, how can YOU help yourself and your child and family and community?
If you want to help yourself and, your family and those around you, the first need is to make sure you understand what is happening and your own role. If you want to part of some new thinking, you can:
