The British Psychological Society’s ‘From Poverty to Flourishing’ campaign, voted for by the Senate in 2019, has aimed to put psychological evidence at the heart of action to tackle poverty and improve outcomes for children, families and communities. In this bumper edition we have pulled together articles and interviews featuring members of the expert reference group and more. Particularly in the more creative contributions, we have interpreted the ‘…to flourishing’ aspect more broadly. Next issue, the focus turns to class.
One place we try to flourish is online… you can find lots more content at thepsychologist.bps.org.uk
