Thank you, @YasuKotera and @site_bu for sharing your insights 🤩🤗
Great time at @UpsidesProject colloquium organised by @rhiltensperger 👍 Interesting to learn Ugandan expression "Faking to be in court", which the researchers used to express unfamiliarity of peer support role experienced in Uganda 🇺🇬
