Association for Young People's Health

The Association for Young People’s Health is a major new charity and membership organisation creating a focus for all professionals and organisations working in the field of young people’s health.

The Association is supported with funding from the Department of Health and the Department for Children, Schools and Families. It was launched at a conference held on the 6th February 2008 at the Institute of Child Health, London.

The Aims of the Association are to:
