Increasing numbers of children and young people are experiencing poor mental health and nowhere has this strain been seen more than in the North. 

In the first of our panel events at Labour Party Conference 2026 in Liverpool, we will examine the recent Child of the North APPG report, hear from children with lived experience, and ask what the new Burnham government should do to support children’s mental health. 

Join us inside the secure zone at 8:15am on Tuesday, September 29 to hear from our expert panel on how we can build support for young people in order to help them thrive.
