The theme for Youth Work Week 2006 has been announced as "Hold Your Head Up" - mental health and emotional wellbeing.
Taking place from 1-7 November 2006, it will give youth work organisations the chance to promote and celebrate the role they play in the lives of young people.
Tom Wylie, chief executive of The NYA, said: "Youth work makes a big contribution to helping young people feel good about themselves.
