National i-THRIVE Community of Practice Event,
Thursday 30th March 2023
Learning from Implementation of the THRIVE Framework across Complex Systems
In-person at The Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust in London
Based on your feedback from our last Community of Practice event in November, the National i-THRIVE team will be sharing examples of best practice from our community of practice sites, with some top tips for successful implementation of the THRIVE Framework. There will be a session on the culture change required to embed the principles of the THRIVE Framework, with dedicated time to support the development of programme action plans.
As we are committed to increasing the diversity of our speakers and events, we are particularly keen to offer presenting opportunities and training to those from minority groups. Please get in touch if you would like to present on this topic.

Further Training Opportunities in the New Year
Our Partner Organisation, the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, are offering the below FREE trainings for mental health and education professionals:
Practical approaches to improving mental health and wellbeing support in schools and local areas
CORC have been partners on the HeadStart Programme since its inception. The programme took a ‘test and learn’ approach, and strategic investment from The National Lottery Fund allowed theory, research, and best practice to be applied in interventions and approaches in six local areas.
From these learnings CORC have developed a set of trainings to share with school staff and local leaders of mental health and wellbeing. Available online and in person across date options.
Local Leaders FREE Training: Topics covered in the training include: student engagement and voice; supporting parents; multi-agency approaches; working with the wider community; sustaining transformation. For each theme we will share approaches taken by local partnerships and reflect on their experiences and learning from implementing each type of activity. Participants will benefit from case examples and practical ideas for interventions, complementing the development of an integrated approach to mental health and wellbeing support.
