We need your help 🏥 💉

We are gathering information about the impact of this on you and your child in a quick 5 min survey ⬇️

A common experience, but looking for a new publisher following our proposal for a paediatric physical health book going all the way to the acquisitions meeting and.. ending at that point 😕. Co-author (@BeckyH_Psych) & I still eager to publish following a year of input. Time to find a new home!

Loved sharing resources from the ISUPPORT rights-based standards at Alder Hey this week!
