Registrations are open and confirmed speakers and presentations include Dr Susan Sawyer, Chair of Adolescent Health in the Department of Paediatrics at the University of Melbourne and Director of the Centre for Adolescent Health at the Royal Children’s Hospital and Dr Claire Achmad, Chief Children’s Commissioner. Updates from the Youth 19 Rangatahi Smart Survey and High Alert – New Zealand’s Early Warning System for Drugs. As well as interactive workshops from organisations including Talking Trouble who address the speech, language and communication needs of children, youth and adults involved with justice, care and protection, mental health and behaviour services.

The full programme will be announced in the coming weeks so keep an eye out.

We hope to see you there.
