The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust and Kids Company are holding a joint conference on Friday, December 2nd, 2011 at the Tavistock Centre in London.
"Young People in Crisis? Exploring transitions to adulthood" is being held at a time when concerns about young people have spilled over once more into anxieties about the cohesion of society and social relatedness. The aim of this one day conference is to explore the key issues faced by young people with difficulties in making the transition to adulthood.
The conference will bring together the innovative practice developed by Kids Company, which effectively reaches out to many young people who find it difficult to access services, and the developmental approach of the Tavistock Clinic's Adolescent Department's to clinical practice, supervision, teaching and research. The conference will draw on recent understanding and developments of young people from a range of perspectives including neuroscience and psychosocial.
It is suitable for all practitioners working with young people (15-30 years) in CAMHS, adult services, social care, children, adult, leaving care, youth offending and criminal justice organisations. It will also be relevant for managers and policy makers.
The speakers include:
Camila Batmanghelidjh, Founder and Director, Kids Company,
Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London,
Professor Stephen Briggs, Associate Dean, Specialist and Adult Health Services (SAMHS), The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust
The fee for the conference is £110 (£90 for Tavistock students and TSP members).
