Good Resources

by Dr. Shelby Clark

There is so much “good work” happening in the world, that it’s often hard to keep up with it all in this age of information. Each month we share with you our Top 5 articles, but in this vein, we wanted to spend some time sharing with you some of the ways that we are finding out about some of the good work happening in our world, whether that is academic research, practitioner-based, professional, or otherwise. Keep in mind, this is certainly not an exhaustive list and we hope to add to it in the future. Moreover, we hope you’ll send us your recommendations as well!
