Communicating Change-important event to be hosted to tackle serious youth violence and youth mental health.

On Wednesday April 20 a special event is taking place in north London entitled ‘Communicating Change.’ The event is being run by Youth Unity Cic and hosted by Paul McKenzie. The aim is to actively communicate and address serious youth violence and mental health.

Organiser and founder of Youth Unity and fantastic Community champion Shirley Jackson told the Havering Daily: “We are an organisation that work at grass roots level. We all know that knife crime has been going on for a long time, it is just now that the media have decided to cover it.

“This event is aimed at bringing together some amazing organisations that have be doing great work in our communities and really talking about the important issues of serious youth violence and mental health issues.”

Youth Unity have been working closely with Bexley Council hosting many outreach programmes and are hoping to do the same here in east London.

Communicating change is an initiative designed to enable the greatest amount of change for individuals and their wider communities.This is an opportunity to bring together a collective of professionals and young people to look at improved ways of managing and maintaining specific aspects of safety to produce solutions to the increase in serious youth violence and mental health challenges.

The initiative will also focus on best practices and working together in collaboration moving forward.

Well done to Youth Unity and Shirley Jackson for the fantastic work they are doing in our community that is needed to help our youth with these very important issues.
