Provide: an opportunity to engage and share best practice for taking forward and implementing the proposals of the Green Paper;
Equip: attendees’ knowledge and skills by providing practical advice and resources to enable schools to implement 'whole-school' approaches to promoting mental health.

Delegates will leave this conference with a better understanding of how the Green Paper's proposals, relating to mental wellbeing in schools, supports the provision of good quality PSHE in promoting children and young people's mental health.
