Workshop titel: How can Youth Health Care/ School Nursing influence the health of children and teenagers and help them to grow up healthy and happy?  Content and objective of the workshop : Youth Health Care/ School Nursing can be an effective intervention for health promotion and disease prevention and hence support optimal development of all children in their environment. The contribution of youth health/ school nurses can increase the health and education chances of children and adolescents and may reduce inequalities in health.

We intend to enhance the quality and profile of Youth Health/ School Nursing and contribute to the further development of the profession.
