The National Youth Agency: Online resource to support and advise on health matters

1 min read
The National Youth Agency is launching an online resource for youth practitioners to help them to inform, support and advise young people effectively on health matters.

Health-e, developed by the National Youth Agency in partnership with OCB Media, will provide youth workers, personal advisers, mentors and other youth practitioners with a mechanism to have better informed conversations with young people on four major health areas - healthy lifestyles, healthy relationships and sex, substance use, and mental and emotional wellbeing.

Richard McKie, National Youth Agency national programme manager, said: "This resource is for all youth practitioners and aims to be an effective starting point for building knowledge and skills when working with young people on health-related issues.

"We have designed this e-learning kit to provide a cost and time-efficient way of building skills and knowledge effectively. We know how hard it is for workers to access training events in these times of austerity and we wanted to support them in maintaining their knowledge and information."
