Dream school =love, nurture, support, acceptance, kindness ❤️

[Bronwynè Coetzee 🇿🇦 @Bronscapade]

As researchers in #child and #adolescent #mentalhealth we strive to conduct #rigorous #science, that’s #acceptable, #feasible, #contextspecific & #culturallyrelevant this takes time, as do much needed #RCTs - in the interim- msgs like these fill our ❤️ small changes =big results!
