It's January 2021 and after several weeks of dithering, the UK Government have declared another national lockdown this time including schools.
We're 10 months into the pandemic and although vaccines are in our news everyday, the current situation makes it feel like we haven't moved on at all. Add to that, where March 2020 was warm and sunny, January 2021 is cold, dark and wet. In March 2020 the mood was optimistic and compliant, in January 2021 the national mood is much more varied and covers a wide range of opinion about what is actually happening and what we should be doing about it.
So, how are we going to survive a third lockdown in a month that is usually long, dark, cold and wet? I asked a few friends to help me out with this episode, so instead of a conversation between me and a guest (or 2!) you'll hear a collection of different voices with different ideas to offer as well as some words from me that will hopefully help!

I'm writing a book on youth work in the covid era and I will let you know when it's available as well as where you can find it. In the meantime, if you'd like to buy my Grove Book on Mental Health and Young People you can do that from www.grovebooks.co.uk search for Y56.
