Read and nap!

Have they ended telehealth for mental health care? This doesn't align with the latest I was aware of as it related to physical health appointments, not psychotherapy

Thank you for writing your chapter!

Just read this book. An excellent addition to the literature on Autism and therapy.

Save the Marcus Garvey Centre – Protect Nottingham’s Cultural Heart Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

Russia has none of the economic nor military might of Nazi Germany.

We will survive along with Ukraine. And its occupied territories will be liberated.

This is us in 1940
