It was good to take some time out and get some input for the brain. for a good summary check out Youthblog. I have posted the following as a comment on youthblog by way of my own contribution.
I thought much of the day
was good (although I confess to leaving early after dropping off a number of
times during the panel discussion). I have been reflecting on the 'Happy
Midi-narrative' findings and the suggestions that young people may find it hard
/ unacceptable / confusing to explore unhappy feelings. I wonder whether a role
for youth work could be to facilitate a safe space in which young people feel
able and supported to explore these issues. If people deny the struggles then
the ‘Good News’ is less obvious (maybe).
