DCIDJ has been moved from Liliane Foundation to the University of Gondar

July 31, 2023

We are pleased to inform you that the Disability, CBR, and Inclusive Development Journal (DCIDJ) has moved from the Liliane Foundation (https://dcidj.org) to the University of Gondar (https://dcidj.uog.edu.et). The University of Gondar is the only university that owns the CBR Program in Ethiopia. The CBR program was established in 2005 in partnership with Light for the World and Save the Children to alleviate various problems faced by persons with disabilities due to lack of access to rehabilitation services and community awareness. The University of Gondar (Ethiopia) and Queen’s University (Canada), supported by the Mastercard Foundation, have developed a 10-year partnership to advance inclusive higher education for young people with disabilities, develop new occupational therapy programs, and advance research for inclusive education and community-based rehabilitation in Africa. Hence, the University of Gondar is an excellent fit to manage the journal as it has extensive experience in the field of disability, CBR, and inclusive development.

The DCIDJ is an online journal with a 33-year-old history of publishing research in the broad field of rehabilitation and disability inclusion. It is an open-access journal that aims to provide a platform for high-quality and innovative research that includes a diverse range of perspectives, including academics, researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students. The journal covers topics such as disability rights, inclusive education, community-based rehabilitation, disability and development, and more. The journal is a quarterly publication that will be available online in four issues per year. We would like to acknowledge the good relationship with the Liliane Foundation and Enablement who chose the University of Gondar as a sustainable base as this university is one of the leading universities in Ethiopia in the field of disability, development, and rehabilitation. This is a positive step towards enhancing the dissemination and impact of research and knowledge in the CBR/CBID community.

New Book: A look inside the therapy room

February 20, 2023

I’m Chrissie Henson, a person-centred therapist who lives in Leicestershire. I recently published my first book “A look inside the therapy room”. What is your book about?, I hear you ask.

The first part of the book tells my story of living with a disability, Cerebral Palsy and the bullying, work discrimination and challenges I've had to overcome at every point of my life.

It then goes on to answer the questions I am commonly asked by my clients and people looking for therapy. My aim is to dismiss the fears and taboos associated with therapy.

In the third part some of my clients have shared the experiences that brought them to therapy and their outcomes. These chapters include, young adults and therapy, men and therapy, rejection, and loss, bereavement and suicide, disability and therapy.

My book is available on amazon. https://amzn.eu/d/gRIrytC

If you would like to know more or wish to contact me you can do so via my website.
