Wellbeing seems to me a seductive, but troubling concept. At the very least its meaning ought to be debated.  Hence we can but encourage folk to attend the following event. Indeed I’m going to offer a paper, ‘Towards Wellbeing : A Collective Social and Political Task’ or ‘I cannot be well if you are not well!’ See you there perchance?

What does it mean to support children, young people and family’s wellbeing through transition?
What is the link between wellbeing and resilience?
How can we ensure sustainable wellbeing?
