Reply to "Looking for youth to co-lead and provide feedback on the services they use"

Hi Deana!
 
I just heard back from the people who are putting on the Wisdom2Action event. First of all, they want to thank you for your helpful suggestion. It was, and is, very much appreciated, valued, and respected!
 
In response to your feedback they have said: "What a conundrum...we have some youth on the planning committee that said we should say that specific line, otherwise youth won't think they will have anything to contribute...what to do, what to do..."
 
They are currently going back to the group to see how the youth-wisdom line can be changed to make it more youth-friendly!
 
Thank you so much for you input! 
 
Patrick

That's just my thoughts, however if you're looking for youth we know that, youth recognize that. As a suggestion, just leave out that next time.

Just my thoughts.
