Advocating for young people’s health
The Association for Young People’s Health brings the specific health needs and experiences of young people to policy, practice and research. We take a holistic approach to health and wellbeing and take the realities of young people’s health experiences to decision makers to change policy and practice.
We work in partnership and share our expertise and resources. This includes leading the Young People’s Health Partnership and a Health Inequalities Policy Fellow programme of work. As part of these projects and others we support young people to influence decision makers directly.
We ensure that we preserve our autonomy and independence in all our work.
We have a range of policy and practice resources.
