Pooky develops and shares practical, evidence-informed approaches to promoting mental health - arming health, social care and education staff with the skills, information and knowledge they need to support the children in their care; whilst also working hard to drive collaboration and change at a national and international level amongst politicians and charity, business and service leads.
