We’re excited to announce that the first two webinars of the series are now available to book, with more to follow later this year.

September 2025 – Mental health matters

Young people in England are facing a deepening mental health crisis, with rising rates of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-harm, and more. These challenges are not only affecting wellbeing but also life chances, impacting transitions into further education, employment, and training.

In this webinar, we’ll explore the latest research from Youth Futures Foundation, examining how mental health is shaping outcomes and discussing what can be done to better support young people at this critical stage.
