What I like about Boingboing, is the passion for Knowledge Exchange and Social factors. As an expert on Action-Research, I was amazed about the Boingboing approach and how it dovetails an inclusive framework with democratic knowledge.

With a background in the community sector in Canada and New Zealand, my interest is in exploring resilience and peer support across patient populations.

I encountered Boingboing through my community work with young people with mental health issues when we co-created resources such as the Visual Arts Practice for Resilience Guide.

Working with children with special needs motivated and triggered my scientific curiosity to explore resilience, revealing new perspectives and horizons.

I am currently examining the sustainability and efficacy of the Academic Resilience Approach, focussing on the degree to which it influences secondary school exclusion rates through the lens of mental health.
