One of the little known gems of Carlisle’s cultural life is the series of lunchtime lectures on offer at Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery. In December retired paediatrician Dr Arthur Paynter will be focusing on society’s growing concerns with the well documented decline in the mental and physical health of children and young people. The reasons and root causes are complex and surprisingly resistant to positive change. During his talk Arthur will consider how best to support our children to grow into the healthy and resilient young adults that this currently troubled world needs.
