This week is #mentalhealthawarenessweek & the theme is movement. Here we share a care framework created by @joverrent @weareunltd & @thesonghunter @64M_Artists. How can you use this to develop an environment at work that supports physical activity? bit.ly/CLCareFr
Studio member @anncarragher PhD research freshly published within this new book 👀⬇️
Delighted to have my work included in this timely publication. Witnessing first hand the consequences and trauma of partition and contested space and being able to exercise my border thinking through my PhD.
