Invitation to Inclusive Partnerships to Build Resilience in Children with & without SEND

Building a resilient, mentally healthy generation of children often feels like an uphill battle with so many factors at play and especially so in the current funding environment.

Join our expert panel to explore how an inclusive partnership approach to local integration of digital interventions can support children's mental health and resilience—especially for neurodiverse children and those with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) or Additional Support Needs (ASN).

We’ll discuss common challenges in commissioning, service design, and education, and share practical strategies to improve access, experience, and outcomes while tackling health inequalities and keeping children at the heart of everything.
