Sixty unique sources of data were used in analyses\, including individual interviews\, written reflections\, researcher observations\, p re/post-quizzes\, and artifacts created by participants. The core category \, Struggling to Become\, explicated how emerging youth work practitioners ' mental health literacies were intertwined with a developing professional identity in the context of mental health care. The focus of this presenta tion is on the sub-category de/valuing youth work\,in which the meaning an d mattering of youth work to emerging practitioners intersected with famil ial and social relations\, and relations with professionals from other dis ciplines. Examples of analytical processes using grounded theory methods w ill be offered.  \n\nFor more information on CRCF's research seminars\, pl ease click here.\n DTSTART:20171101T160000Z DTEND:20171101T170000Z LOCATION:Wendy Patrick room (room 118)\, Wilson Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2A7\, 3506 rue University SUMMARY:Research Seminar - Uncovering the Meaning and Mattering of Youth Wo rk in Mental Health Care Contexts Through Grounded Theory Methodology by P atti Ranahan\, Concordia University URL:/crcf/channels/event/research-seminar-uncovering-m eaning-and-mattering-youth-work-mental-health-care-contexts-through-271857 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
