Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

Yvonne’s blog, tackles the pervasive issue of academic bullying, exploring how power imbalances and toxic behaviours are often overlooked in academia. Drawing from personal experiences and insights from experts, the blog explores the subtle and overt forms of bullying that thrive in hierarchical environments. Yvonne challenges the culture that permits such behaviour and offers reflections on how systemic change, especially in leadership and mentorship, is essential for a healthier academic workplace.
