Influencing your local system to do more for young people is a key way to make your organisation more sustainable and to ensure more young people get the help they need. Most of our members will be doing this in some form already - but as you know, it's rarely easy! We’ve put together a series of free online events to help you successfully advocate for your service and strategically influence your local decision-makers to make positive changes for young people.
Each learning session will explore an important key theme and draw on the experiences of external speakers and fellow Youth Access members. Attendees will have the opportunity to share challenges, ask questions and will receive useful accompanying resources to be used in their work.
Explore the sessions available and sign up below. The sessions are open to all staff members and you may attend as many events as you'd like.
