How can we make schools, youth clubs, places of worship and neighbourhoods more supportive of children and young people's emotional and mental well-being?
Spiritual England is holding this national conference 'Creating spiritual spaces for children and young people' to bring together social workers, teachers, early years, play and youth workers, psychotherapists, psychologists, religious leaders and policy officers.
The conference will focus on children, young people and spirituality in the context of the Government's well-being agenda. Delegates will also learn how to create indoor and outdoor spaces that provide a good environment for supporting children's mental and emotional health.
Spiritual England
Spiritual England is a new national voluntary organisation working to develop understanding, spread good practice and promote practice and promote activities that support and to support children and young people's spirituality in schools and communities.
