Within This Issue
This Winter issue is the third issue in our year of celebration of 25 years of PMLD Link. This issue has the theme of ‘Well-being’ which dictionaries tend to define as the state of being happy, healthy, and prosperous. However, the articles presented here have more to do with the quality of life and this is not be confused with the concept of ‘standard of living’, which is based primarily on income. We are not so much concerned here with wealth and employment but rather with the built environment, physical and mental health, access to health services, opportunities for education, recreation and leisure, and ways of fostering social belonging.
There are a range of articles in this issue, predominantly concerned with physical health and mental health, but they all admirably reflect this desire to establish a good quality of life for people with PMLD.
