Understanding and improving the mental health of care experienced children and young people

Coram BAAF's annual health conference is a key event in the calendars of health and social care professionals working with children in care, adopted children, care leavers, or their carers and parents. Children and young people often describe access to mental health support as a “maze” or a “game of chance”. We will explore why this happens, drawing on leading research across health, social care, and therapeutic services.

Join us for Playful Spaces, a one-day learning event for educators, theatre-makers and creative practitioners who want to reimagine how young people learn. Hosted by Coram Shakespeare Schools Foundation, this innovative day of workshops, masterclasses and conversations will give you practical tools to energise your teaching and transform your learning environment.

These free sessions will provide an opportunity to reflect on the challenges disabled young people may face at times of transition, and how we can support them to make this process smoother, by ensuring that their rights are upheld. This will include exploring legislation.

Join our free workshops to explore the challenges disabled young people may face at times of transition, and how we can support them to make this process smoother, by ensuring that their rights are upheld. During the sessions, we will examine some of the different legislation that relates to the transition process, and consider what tools we have to advocate for young people, and promote good practice on a practical level.
