New podcast episode explores the importance of positive experiences in young people's lives
17 April 2023
A new episode of The Lifecourse Podcast is out and asks if it's time to shift the research and policy narrative away from the negative experiences facing young people.
In Episode 6 of Series 2 of The Lifecourse Podcast, Christine Garrington is joined by ICLS' Rebecca Lacey and Ann Hagell from the Association for Young People's Health to discuss the impact on young people's lives of positive experiences.
Rebecca outlines new research looking at how positive experiences are linked with children and young people's physical and mental health and together she and Ann consider the need for a new narrative in policy and practice around young people's lives.
