  • Overview

Welcome to the UK's Children and Young People’s Mental Health 12th National Conference 2025, a cornerstone event dedicated to advancing mental health support for young people. This conference serves as a dynamic platform for professionals from local authorities, the NHS, charities, and other support services to come together and share best practices, innovative approaches, and impactful case studies.

Throughout the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with esteemed keynote speakers who are experts in the field of child and adolescent mental health. These speakers will address critical issues facing young people's mental health and provide insights into effective strategies for early intervention, treatment, and support.

In addition to keynote presentations, the conference will feature enlightening case studies highlighting positive work from across various sectors. From innovative interventions in schools and communities to successful collaborations promoting mental health awareness and resilience-building, these case studies will showcase best practices and inspire attendees to implement similar initiatives in their own settings.

Join us at The Children and Young People’s Mental Health 12th National Conference 2025 to learn, collaborate, and drive positive change in mental health support services for children and adolescents across the UK. Together, we can work towards creating a brighter and healthier future for young people.
