Wellbeing Kidz Conference 22nd Feb 2008 @ Haydock Park Racecourse
The aim of our second annual conference is to promote awareness of the issues affecting the wellbeing of children and young people aged 0-19, and what we can do to promote their positive mental health.
The Wellbeing Project CIC and North West Regional Youth Work Unit are working in partnership to deliver a conference that hears from inspirational speakers. Lively workshops will give participants the opportunity to share ideas and move the agenda on.
Chaired by Dr Laura Pogue, (GP with a special interest in mental health and Chair of the Wellbeing Project CIC) and Dave Sweeney (Operational Director for Mental Health for Halton and St Helens PCT), the conference links with all the key targets of ‘Every Child Matters’.
Like last year, we aim to attract a wide and diverse audience to this conference.
