In this episode Dr Gemma Gough discusses her thesis which explored young carers' own perspectives on the factors which contributed to their positive educational achievement.

We then explore the factors that contribute to resiliency and benefit finding including self-efficacy, connectedness and social relationships and how schools can support positive outcomes.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there.
