Five things that every person working with young people today needs to know.

<h3>Webinar summary</h3> Being a young adult in the 21st century means navigating a very different world to the one in which many of us grew up. Young people are under 24/7 pressure to be ‘always on’ and their ‘best self’ and they need to be prepared for a challenging world. COVID19 added an extra layer of pressure to the mix. Dr Dominique Thompson is the UK’s leading expert on young people’s mental health, and she will reveal why they may be struggling more, and the 5 things we can all do to help young adults to develop the life skills they need to thrive in this new and changing world. We will allocate 10-15 minutes at the end of the webinar for a Q&amp;A session.
