July 2008:

Mental Health and Young People: Sally Jenkins, Assistant Director of Children’s Services, Barnardo’s Cymru delivered a presentation and subsequent discussion on the recently published Policy and Practice Briefing on Mental Health Provision for 16 and 17 year olds in Wales. Downloads available: Briefing Paper and Presentation
After the presentation and discussion the participants were split into small groups to consider a case study.
2. Evaluation: The practice exchange was well received with positive feedback from all 27 participants; a synopsis of the evaluation can be viewed here.
3. Networking: Attendees completed an Information Exchange Sheet that asked them to share ‘What they were up to at the moment?’ and ‘What do you need?’ with contact details. These were available for sharing on the day and have since been written up and can be viewed here. This will help members to continue to network and support each other after the meeting.
Contact details of those who attended are available here.
