Welcome to the April 2026 edition of the PPN East of England Newsletter. This issue shines a light on the breadth of innovation, leadership and collaboration taking place across our psychological professions and ways that you can get involved.
At our PPN Development Day earlier this year, colleagues from across the country shared examples of the projects, partnerships and initiatives they are most proud of. Their reflections — from trauma‑informed resources and crisis care communities of practice, to widening participation, AI in therapeutic contexts, and national contributions to policy and quality agendas — remind us of the collective impact our professions make every day. This edition brings those voices together, celebrating the diversity and ambition of our workforce.
Alongside this, we highlight a range of opportunities to learn, influence and contribute. You’ll find invitations to national webinars, calls for evidence to shape future children and young people’s services, consultations on professional standards, and updates on new guidance, resources and data developments. These opportunities reflect the evolving landscape we work within and the vital role psychological professionals play in shaping it.
We also share important updates on educator support, mental health technologies, suicide prevention resources, and regional initiatives such as Veterans Voice and Thrive Together — all reinforcing the value of psychologically informed approaches across systems and communities.
We encourage you to stay connected, share your news and ensure your membership details are up to date so you can make the most of our regional events and networks. Thank you for your continued commitment to promoting psychological health and wellbeing across the East of England.
