We are excited to be at @northumbriauni.bsky.social Student Union today for the HAF+ event hosted by Prof Greta Defeyter @livinghealthy007.bsky.social - another great opportunity to introduce people to the Network and promote content for young people on our Healthier Together website.

Last Thursday was our latest joint board meeting between our Strategic Oversight Group and our Know Our Impact young people's group (known as the KOI Group - a nod to their incredible artwork shown here which they created last year as part of developing their manifesto for engagement).
Image of artwork created by young people showing orange koi fish swimming in a river with grass on one side and a brick wall on the other. Words are dotted around the image to describe how young people might be feeling at the start of their journey to engagement with adult professionals, including misunderstanding, miscommunication, fear, ignored, lost, dismiss, disregard. Second image in the young people's artwork shows two koi fish swimming around each other in a whirlpool. The words perseverance, metamorphosis, trying, change and growth are painted around the edge of the pool. Third image in the young people's artwork shows the river flowing into a waterfall with bright green grass and red flowers painted either side, with the brick wall at the top having become a completed jigsaw puzzle to show how the pieces all fit together. The word 'communication' flows down the waterfall, with together, equality and respect written at the bottom. The words love, healthy minds, and voices heard are written across the jigsaw pieces.
