Very interesting, the statistics are frightening, it's become a huge problem in our Western world and we need to deal with this issue. A very informative resource that will now make me ask the questions, have the conversation and engage multi discipline team members for a more supportive platform to encourage and promote success for the client. I really enjoyed this education resource.
