'Developing ideas for the future': session being led now at #YHFSummit by @jahintanvir_ and strategist @andrewhollo - thanks Jahin for featuring in our @CroakeyNews preview croakey.org/chf-youth-heal…

#YHFSummit

Mapping ideas #YHFSummit

Some key themes emerging from #YHFSummit this morning

1. We need to be better informed: that means better data about young people, better understanding among young people about health concerns/conditions/solutions

2. Young people need to be better included: that's about governance, advocacy, lived experience.

3. Services (design, delivery, access, health practitioner behaviour) #YHFSummit

4. Better technology navigation/access, how can technology better enable lived experience too

#YHFSummit

5. COVID - how better acknowledge in health system that COVID is a major, disproportionate disruptor in the lives of young people? "Loss, grief, restrictions, missed opportunities...real sense you can't earn this time back" #YHFSummit

Strong message to @CensusAustralia from #YHFSummit ideas session

Governance #YHFSummit

#YHFSummit

#YHFSummit ideas session being led by @jahintanvir_ @andrewhollo #stickynotesgalore

Need to actively canvass places for young people to be heard; and training so, when they bring ideas, they understand the governance/advocacy/processes that enable them to do so most powerfully #YHFSummit #ideas AND, see lovehearts, pay them!

"Build cultural competence into every tender as a requirement."

"Lived experience ought to be part of all practitioner training"

#YHFSummit

Practical suggestions coming through re funding, partic out of pocket/gap payments so young people know what's available at what cost.

Transport issues being raised particularly for rural, regional areas.

Services need to be 'safe spaces' (incl use of nature)

#YHFSummit #ideas (also listen to young people when you ask for their feedback on technology)

Ideas for better acknowledgement of COVID as life disruptor for young people #YHFSummit #SDOH

#YHFSummit feedback

"It feels like we spend a lot of time teaching and training young people to be acceptable to the status quo - I wonder if we're investing as much energy in shifting those systems."

"I found it took a long time to figure out that I wasn't "supposed" to act a certain way to be professional, because no one said otherwise." #YHFSummit

"And it's worth being critical about who 'professionalism' serves and its roots in white supremacy etc. I love that young people keep showing us different ways to engage." #YHFSummit

"Looking at the upstream interventions that will help young people transition to a 'new normal'."

@andrewhollo says every generation has its own event, the pandemic is one.

Reads out call for a road map for young people "to be able to reclaim lost opportunity".

#YHFSummit

Very strong focus at #YHFSummit on SDOH in pandemic responses, particularly income support (some have benefited, some have lost), devaluing of 'essential' services (which generally lower earning)

"Lived experience needs to be embedded in every aspect of the health system."

"More funding for preventive health."

"Carbon tax, removal of capital gain tax exemptions..."

More ideas from #YHFSummit

What would you like to see in 20 years? #YHFSummit

#LGBTIQ+ priorities..... #YHFSummit

All these ideas are going to be distilled and shaped for final session by @jahintanvir_ @andrewhollo #YHFSummit

Back now to @LeanneWells63 ahead of brief break, thanks #YHFSummit for rich ideas so far today...which will led to key themes and key policy asks to frame @YouthHealthFor1 @CHFofAustralia advocacy

Agrees with @jahintanvir_ on need to be solutions focused, and participant comment, 'should we be thinking about young people, supporting them to be health 'creators', not health 'consumers'." #YHFSummit
