Community Conference

25 Apr - 18 May 2022 12:00pm - 12:00pm

Join the national network of Youth Information, Advice and Counselling services for a series of impactful, engaging and thought-provoking sessions every Wednesday and Friday from April 25th. The first of its kind for Youth Access, the virtual Community Conference offers a selection of training and development sessions to benefit your service and the young people who use it.

You can attend as many sessions as you choose throughout the conference and best of all, this year's event is free for all Youth Access Members, Associates & the young people that use your services. The conference will be a space to come together as a community to share the evidence, ideas, insights and skills needed in the post-pandemic world and the fight for long term government funding.

The conference includes sessions on Anti-racism in Action, YIACS and Family Hubs, How to Campaign as a Charity, workshops with young people and the much-anticipated opportunity to feed into our collective consultation response to the Government's new 10-year Mental Health Plan. 

As we countdown to the conference launch you can secure your space at each session in advance via Eventbrite. Be sure to sign up as soon as possible to avoid disappointment as spaces are limited.
