Children’s Health Scotland Conference 2021 | Feeling Good

PLEASE NOTE OUR CONFERENCE HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO SEPTEMBER 2021
Do you work in the children’s health and wellbeing sector?

Then put the date in your diary and BOOK NOW for the Children’s Health Scotland Conference 2021 | Feeling Good which is all about sharing ideas, experiences and good practice in relation to children’s health and wellbeing.

Our theme of Feeling Good has been chosen to raise awareness and promote the importance of good emotional health and wellbeing for children and young people. The conference will reflect on current research and theory whilst looking at best practice and the rights of children and young people with regards to emotional health and wellbeing. It will provide the perfect opportunity for delegates to share ideas, listen to examples of good practice and look at resources that you can then take away to use in your workplace.


Date and Venue

The Children’s Health Conference 2021 | Feeling Good is taking place on Friday 3 September 2021 at the Sheraton Grand Hotel, Edinburgh.

Information

The morning session of the conference will include a Keynote Speech by Maree Todd MSP, Minister for Children and Young People and a Guest Presentation by Dr William Bird MBE about Feeling Good in relation to children and young people’s health and wellbeing. It will also include a range of morning workshops which have been designed to share ideas of what is working in practice whilst encouraging a deeper understanding of what it takes to feel good.

In the afternoon the conference will include further workshops, followed by a panel discussion on celebrating successes and overcoming challenges in addressing children and young people’s health and emotional wellbeing. It will conclude with the presentation of the Scottish Children’s Health Awards.
