This would of course not have been possible without our collaborators at One Dance UK and NIDMS helping us proactively involve people in dance in designing this research and sharing our findings with them. An applied project driven from those in dance for those in dance form begging to end. 🩰

This is a wonderful recognition of the ESRC funded work @jenncumming.bsky.social, Dr Anna Lavis, Erin Sanchez and I have done to research, create and share resources to support those at risk of self-harm in dance education.

It was an absolute pleasure to be involved in this work. Thank you for having me on board!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Alongside all the staff & young people at St Basils, it has also been great to work alongside Prof. @jenncumming.bsky.social, Dr @maryquinton.bsky.social, @mkolitsida.bsky.social & Prof. Jessica Pykett. Thank you to the ESRC & Cooke and Wolstenholme Charitable Trust for their support & funding.

Thank you Gill! I appreciate this coming from you and your wealth of psych knowledge and wisdom 🤍

As part of this we are currently evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of an educational workshop on self-harm for those in dance education. We are looking to conclude this work at end of December and with limited spaces left please get in touch if you are interested.

Having the support of the public engagement team has meant that we are able to disseminate this information to a broader scale of shareholders, ensuring our work reaches those it is intended for.

It’s been great to connect with and learn from others who take a similar approach to their research.

My weather app showed an expected stop for around 10 am when I check at 6:30 this morning. That clearly did not happen and it now says noon if that helps? Hope all goes well.

Thanks for making this!
