Transforming mental health in schools and colleges: The impact of COVID-19

This important full-day webinar will explore the views of clinicians, researchers, teachers, parents, and young people in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the policy aspirations of the 2017 government initiative 'Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision - a Green Paper'. It will delve into how lockdown affected mental health in our nation’s schools, and how mental health interventions can be implemented in schools to provide earlier access to care.

During this webinar delegates will:

• Understand how schools and colleges have been addressing the mental health of children and young people during the pandemic 
• Discuss policy agenda set by "Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision: A Green Paper", and how the pandemic may have changed priorities
• Consider the long-term consequences of COVID-19 for the mental health of staff and students
