 Children and young people are the experts in themselves so when we're looking to develop an event about children and young people's mental health I think it's really really important that actually we stop and we listen to them and really incorporate their voice throughout these kind of events and that's something that's working really really well with this event. So the Promoting Healthy Young Minds event has been developed by Jersey Mind and Victoria College and they have really worked hard right from the early it's sort of inception of the event to sort of support young people in enabling their voices to be heard in the development of this event. So we know that for those couple of days when we come together that those voices really permeate right throughout the program and that all of the different sessions that are happening they are happening because young people have said this is what we want this is what we need this is the kind of change that we would like to happen that really really matters because actually young people have such powerful voices and they are our future and they're the people who know how we can do this right for them but sometimes we tend to do stuff for them rather than with them so this is a great opportunity to be working alongside children and young people engaging with a program about stuff that matters to them in a way that feels right for them so I'm really really looking forward to it because I feel like this is going to be a great opportunity for us to stop to take stock and to learn and I think this will be a place where parents professionals and young people are working alongside each other everybody learning from each other but all with the same objective in mind in improving things in terms of the mental health of the young people of Jersey. I'm really genuinely excited about it and I look forward to meeting lots of you there it's being held down at the Radisson Hotel on the waterfront on the 8th and 9th of July and you can get tickets via Eventbrite I hope to see you there
