In this seminar replay, we explore evidence from recent research and interventions focussed on the prevention of mental health and wellbeing difficulties, drawing from impactful initiatives at both national and local levels. The webinar begins with a presentation and then transitions into a panel discussion. During this discussion, we examine the implications of the research findings related to young people, parents, carers, and practitioners. The panel consists of the main speakers, project partners, a lived experience expert, and a practitioner.

In this insightful and optimistic presentation, Professor Tony Attwood discusses the learning and developmental needs of children and young people with autism, how best to support them to lead fulfilling lives in a world not designed for them, and the unique contributions they can make to society - if we allow them to. ******************************************************************** Generation Next provides education and information about the prevention and management of mental illness in youth to professionals, young people and the wider community.
