Introduction to the principles and practical aspects of young people friendly services and the skills health professionals need to work effectively in community-based multi-agency teams.

 

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Describe why young people find traditional health services difficult to access
  • Define five features of an effective, accessible young people’s service
  • List the 'You’re Welcome' quality criteria
  • Develop a professional development plan for your skills in this area

 

The inverse care law applies particularly to young people, as those likely to have greatest psychosocial and behavioural morbidity are least likely to access traditional health services.
