To understand and explain the multifaceted and vital roles youth work plays in supporting young people’s mental health and wellbeing, UK Youth and Dartington Service Design Lab gathered learning from interviews, observations, and reporting from Thriving Minds grantees from across the UK.

Join us for a brief presentation of our findings, to listen, share and reflect on your practice, better understand the varied roles of youth workers and help explain youth work’s contribution to external audiences.
