Really pleased to see our study published open access, highlighting the work of our PhD student Tracy Mapp. Tracy is doing some thoughtful research in prison settings, and it’s great to see another part of that work out in the world. doi.org/10.1007/s111...

So to me it's important.

I'm not complaining, I'm sharing, just because it's bad news to some doesn't mean it's not helpful and uplifting for others.

Don't suffer in silence anyone who has a #ChronicIllness, #Disability or #LearningDisability of any kind, you're not alone, I've got you.
