About the virtual panel discussion:
In a world where mental health conversations are more crucial than ever, we're thrilled to invite you to an important session designed specifically for those who wish to support young people with their mental well-being.
Damien Coates has shared his lived experience with over 10,000 people and the one question he is asked more than any other is "How do I talk to young people about mental health?".
This interactive event will feature a panel of three expert speakers, each bringing their unique insights and perspectives on youth mental health. Our panellists will share valuable strategies and tools to help you initiate meaningful conversations and effectively support the young people in your life. Additionally, we will spotlight findings from the Black Dog Institute’s groundbreaking Future Proofing study.
The session will be moderated by Emily Coates and will conclude with an engaging Q&A segment, offering you the opportunity to ask your burning questions and gain clarity on this vital topic.
This virtual panel discussion is eligible for 1 CPD point.
