National Youth Agency Launch E-Learning Tools
14 September 2010
‘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.”
The Health-e site is being launched on the 29 September at 11 am through a free online interactive broadcast. The launch, which can be viewed from any computer with internet access, will include a presentation by Richard McKie on the challenges of talking to young people about their health.
