Welcome

Dear Partners,

Welcome to the May edition of Families First News for Hertfordshire's early help professionals. If you have celebrated any special days recently, we hope that you thoroughly enjoyed them in the lovely sunshine that we have seen lately.

It's the start of the exam season for some of our young people, so in this edition we have news of support from Togetherall, a free online mental health and wellbeing support service.  Also, on 7th May at 4.30pm YGAM and Children & Young People Now are hosting a free, expert-led webinar, exploring how to protect young people from gambling-related harm. There is also a community version suicide prevention and postvention readiness pack to support the wellbeing of extracurricular and enrichment activity organisations working with young people and much more.

We are looking forward to our Share and Learn event - Prevent Programme- on Monday 19th May at 1pm (45 mins).  If you haven't done so already, book your place for this extremely interesting webinar here. 

Finally, don't forget to take a look through our Learning and Development articles to see what is available for you and your teams, along with our local news pages and vacancies page.

We hope you enjoy this edition of Families First News and please encourage your teams to sign up to receive their own copy!
