Thank you so much for these wonderful resources- as a tutor who works with students, i will be passing these on to my students. I have been able to suggest cactus- a well being journal that is so beautiful – and reading this primer Discovering Psychology for many of my students. It as also been helpful to guide them towards mind.uk resources that are so well done.
