Social Work Links and Learning - #103

31 December 2023

Introduction

Hoping you have spent the last couple of weeks in the way you would choose to, with people or pets that mean the most to you and that you have a positive 2023.

Thank you for allowing me the time and space to enter your email inbox through 2023. I am planning to continue through the next year but am always welcome to feedback/suggestions.

Please do feel free to share with friends, colleagues, anyone random you think might appreciate this!
