Our inaugural event of the Mentally Healthier System Leaders Network will be chaired by Kadra Abdinasir, Associate Director of Policy, Centre for Mental Health, and will be focused on how to improve mental health services for children and young people.
We will explore how ICBs can meet rising levels of need for mental health support among children and young people, a major challenge for every system in the wake of the pandemic and cost-of-living crisis.
