How life gets under our skin and our physical and mental health interact with our social and economic circumstances and environment.
In Episode 6 of Series 2 of The Lifecourse Podcast we’re talking about the impact on young people’s lives of positive experiences and asking if it’s time to shift the research and policy narrative away from the negative experiences facing those young people. Chris Garrington is joined by Rebecca Lacey, a researcher based at UCL, who’s been investigating how positive experiences are linked with children and young people’s physical and mental health and Ann Hagell from the Association for Young People’s Health.
