Inclusive Partnerships to Build Resilience in Children with & without SEND

Online | 60 mins | Free Webinar + Panel Discussion

Who is this webinar for?

For commissioners and health, care and education professionals with an interest in SEND, children and young people's (CYP) mental health and emotional wellbeing, public health, tackling health inequalities, digital innovation, or system transformation.

What will I learn?

Join us as we discuss with our expert panellists, how an inclusive partnership approach to local integration of digital interventions can help children (including neurodiverse children and many with special educational needs and/or disabilities, SEND) to build resilience and support their mental health; while empowering the people around them, increasing access, improving experience and outcomes, and addressing health inequalities.

Our panellists will touch on:

• Examples of good practices to channel systemic collaboration
• How certain complex scenarios can be safely managed outside of or alongside specialist pathways (and the role that Ordinarily Available Provision plays in this)
• How might mental health and emotional wellbeing services be more neuro-affirming and how digital technologies may help
• What data from thousands of users of a digital therapeutic support has taught us

Panellists include:

He has a special clinical interest in the assessment and diagnosis of neurodevelopmental conditions in school-age children.
