    [post_content] => Young people are the focus of the Society's second symposium exploring issues around emotional and mental health and wellbeing.

The event, in London in September, will look at topics such as how homeopathy can help support children's mental health services, working with young people who have experienced trauma, and behavioural issues.

Presenters include practising homeopath and psychotherapist Saira Keevill-Thomas, co-principal of South Downs School of Homeopathy; homeopath Rachael Leffman, who works with charity Kids Inspire in Essex; and homeopath and clinical researcher Philippa Fibert.

There will also be a presentation on safeguarding by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

Speaking at the start of national Mental Health Awareness Week, Sue Crump, Chair of the Society’s Public Affairs Committee, said mental health was a critical issue for society as a whole.

“We are facing a mental health care crisis in this country and nowhere is this more evident than among young people where the number of referrals to the NHS for help has soared," she said. "Our symposium will explore ways in which homeopaths can work with other health professionals, agencies and charities to support young people and their families and try to ease some of the pressures on them and on the system.”

In May 2018, the Society launched a year-long campaign to highlight the role of homeopathy in supporting mental health and wellbeing aimed at practitioners and organisations in the healthcare sector.

The initiative was in part a response to the widely-reported pressures on NHS mental health services.
