The National i-THRIVE community of practice comprises over 99 local sites that are working to implement the THRIVE Framework for system change (Wolpert et al., 2019) in their services for children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing.

Hosted by the National i-THRIVE programme, this in-person event provides an opportunity to hear how these sites are implementing the THRIVE Framework to provide better mental health support for children and young people. Throughout the day, you’ll hear best practice examples from across the sector and learn how to overcome the potential challenges and barriers to implementing the THRIVE Framework across complex systems.

During this event, you will:

learn from other sites implementing the THRIVE Framework
receive practical guidance on how to support successful implementation
consider potential opportunities and challenges that the THRIVE Framework poses
reflect on possible ways to overcome barriers to implementation
collaborate with others and gain insights through networking
