Hi, Some of the German Protestant churches created a specialised chat service for pastoral care (which includes more of psychological counseling that spiritual guidance, if I understand well. The "German" term for it is Chat-Seelsorge. At the time of its experimentation, in 2002, it was largely used by youth. Diemo Rollert, a vicar and internet pastor, wrote an internal analysis of the uses of the service. If you are interested I can you send his email address. Hope this helps, Frank Mestdagh Chris wrote:
Hello,
I am starting research in the use of chat in social welfare for youth. I am looking for a conceptual framework fo online social work towards the social integration of young people.
Main question is what the determinants are for qualitative online (youth) social work.
Does anyone know of any publications regarding the use of chat in social welfare (or therapy)? Or even better any academic discussions?
I already have some publications (mainly from Holland en some froms US), but they are very few. So, all suggestions are welcome!
Thank you for your contributions...
Kind regards, Chris Mestdagh

Mapquest has never done me wrong. But the tools exist to do better. I shouldn't have to turn on the overhead light (mine doesn't work, so I use headlights behind me) to read a line of text. I want my cell phone, GPS device, or in-car navigation system (okay, yours; I don't have one...yet) to SHOW me the directions - 3-8 second MPEGS showing the approach for each turn, and the turn itself; important landmarks; interesting sights/sites along the way...
This probably already exists in some form of which I'm oblivious - whether in development in some lab, or already on the cover of some magazine I don't read. If not, what would it take? Geo-coded youtube pages? Clips on Google Maps, integrated with Google's directions? What tool would gather the clips and put them in a playlist for my phone (or navigation system or in-lens display or back-of-neck port)? Show me the way...
