Children and young people across the UK have had their lives turned upside down by the pandemic. Almost every young person has had to adjust to dramatic changes in their education or employment, routine and home life. In our next webinar ‘Youth Mental Health during Covid-19: How to support under 25s’ we will discuss the impact on young people and how we can support them through this crisis.

Hosting this panel discussion will be Jack Parsons, UK's Chief Youth Officer, Global Mental Health Ambassador and CEO of The Youth Group and David Beeney, Founder of Breaking the Silence. You can read more about our guest panelists below.

This event is aimed at any individual with interest in enabling young people to deal with the current mental health challenges, which includes businesses leaders, employers, parents, colleagues and young people themselves.
