I've been listening to a series in #ZetlandMag about a Danish children's crisis centre, which does not seem to always be working well.
It's well written/podcasted and fascinating investigative journalism. But what also strikes me is that, in spite of the problems, and clear issues with pressure in the public services, there are multiple social safety nets here.
Including in the last resort excellent journalism.
A true #BigSociety.
Joannahuset er Danmarks første krisecenter for børn og unge. Et privat initiativ, der ser børn på en helt ny måde. Men nu står unge, forældre og fagfolk frem og retter kritik mod huset.
I LOVE the idea of a #WellBeing #Economy - yes it's a complex #system led approach, but vital for human thriving (IMHO).

It's good that the article highlights the good work done at #community level already. However, this MUST be balanced with appropriate #policy, #economic and other support from #government / civil bodies.
My concern is that the right wing usually want a smaller state, to disaggregate responsibility down to the community level. We saw this in the UK with David Cameron's #BigSociety.
My opinion is that this is not the right way around - communities shouldn't have to attend to #ClimateChange / #ClimateJustice, #Social issues, #Financial or social #regeneration etc on their own as part of a shrinking state.
#Local people should lead but as partners, not as the sole drivers.
It's a difficult balance...
