@ArmstrongSLT @Spooky__SaLT Sorry for delay! Yes @Keira_Radski is planning to use it as part of a narrative intervention on young people in YJS. So watch this space!

Curious #SLT2B here! Does anyone know what the evidence base and efficacy is like for the Language for Behaviour and Emotions Resource I've had a look online and can't find much info. Thanks!
