Public Health and Wellbeing

Youth work plays a crucial role in public health and wellbeing. We believe in a complete approach to young people’s wellbeing.

A Holistic Approach

We know youth work is the ultimate preventative spend. It’s vital that youth work is built in to education services, mental health services and should be a critical part of public health – ensuring a holistic approach to young people’s wellbeing.
