Today the Well Centre team attended the London Violence Reduction Unit’s (VRU) “Shifting Systems” conference, to discuss how to improve hospital-based youth work (HBYW).
💚 The VRU brought together the Metropolitan Police, NHS, local authorities, and youth work practitioners and providers to coordinate and improve vulnerable young people’s experience with care. The VRU has just published a report on the root issues in HBYW, with recommendations on how they can be solved. We were there to promote bringing in a youth focus across primary care; taking care from hospitals and into the community. It was inspiring to speak with so many individuals across the public sector all committed to keeping young people healthy, safe and happy by tackling youth violence.
💬 If you’re interested in youth health please do get in touch – either through our DMs or at [email protected] – to see how the Well Centre Model could be used to keep young people safe and happy in your community.
