The Emerging Minds Network is pleased to share recordings from our joint webinar with The Mental Elf on 12 May 2020
The aim of the webinar is to share what research tells us about self-harm and youth mental health and to explore the potential practical implications for children, young people and their families right now during the COVID-19 lockdown.
The Emerging Minds Network is delighted to welcome experts in the field: Prof Ann John and Dr Faraz Mughal, who will share their knowledge and experience and answer your questions during the webinar.
This webinar was a partnership production with The Mental Elf and it is through them that these recordings are available.
