Attending an ACAMH webinar provides access to evidence-based research presented by leading experts in the field. You’ll gain valuable knowledge on child and adolescent mental health, improving your practice and supporting young people. All events are centred around evidence-based research, and our speakers are some of the leading lights in the field. ACAMH is a charity, and we receive no government funding, nor do we ask for donations.

We try to keep our costs as low as possible, and provide many events completely free. Don’t forget as a charity any surplus made is reinvested back as we work to our vision of ‘Sharing best evidence, improving practice’, and our mission to ‘Improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people aged 0-25’. 

Can’t make it, don’t worry, book now as delegates have exclusive access to recordings for 90 days after the event, together with slides. You must book before the event starts, there are no tickets after the event starts.
