London Child Poverty Summit - Mental Health

We were very excited for the opportunity to return to the London Child Poverty summit. After our participation last year, when we presented on the topic of food poverty amongst those affect by the NRPF condition, the organisers decided to include an entire panel dedicated to NRPF and its effects on children and young people’s well-being, which we couldn’t be happier about! 

This year we took part in the mental health panel where we had the opportunity to share our thoughts on the difficulties affecting our mental health, the effects of the hostile environment and the barriers to accessing relevant support.
