Closing out day two of #CAMH23 is our keynote pan-shop on 'Early Intervention. How we define "Early" , what is working, what is missing" with @AnneHollonds, @DrNMilburn and Louise Grant, moderated by @LynOGrady.
A wonderful panel to end the conference! Early intervention is not just defined by age - we need to intervene both early in life and early in the problem. We need to consider infants, children, teens, & young adults in the conversation about #mentalhealth#CAMH23@DrNMilburn
We talked a lot about workforce on Friday- capacity, skill and availability. AAIMH is implementing a comprehensive competency framework for all levels and it’s available here https://t.co/eE524bzqec #EYS2023
“All our support needs to be through a strength based lens of empowering and lifting up!” We @bravefoundation wholeheartedly agree @AmandaRishworth - the answers are within with those living their own experience #EYS2023#teenparents
‘If we don’t pay early childhood educators better we will continue to lose them and children will suffer. Educators are leaving not because they want to, but because they cannot afford to stay.’ Preschool teacher and manager Janine says. #EYS2023
‘We don’t as a society, collectively, value children and early childhood and our policies reflect that. I am excited that this strategy could change that,’ @spage_ECA at #EYS2023
So good to hear Jamie Crosby @familiesaust refer to infants children and young people - infancy is as different to childhood as childhood is to adolescence. Naming them is the first step to seeing and prioritising them #EYS2023
WAIMH Position Paper on the Rights of Infants very pertinent for today’s important discussions at the National early years summit #EYS2023 https://t.co/4dbdomw1HN
