Maria Burton<\/a>, research associate for the Lab described the importance of this work: \u2018many individuals find it difficult to share some of the day to day challenges they face.\u00a0 This can be\u00a0particularly the case when talking to someone much\u00a0younger than they are or when describing some of the more embarrassing problems\u00a0they confront on a daily basis.\u00a0\u00a0When talking to a peer this process is often much easier and feedback has been that people feel more comfortable in describing these challenges to a person who they feel may have a clearer understanding and may have experienced some of the issues themselves.\u2019<\/p>\n

This work has been extensively evaluated and the team which includes Maria Burton, Heath Reed<\/a>, Paul Chamberlain<\/a> and Gail Mountain<\/a> are presently looking at ways to share their findings with others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
