Delighted to be in Cardiff today talking with colleagues from Wales and Scotland about the development of the role and the research that underpins everything we do.
We talk about finding rich relational moments throughout the day. It doesn’t have to be big! #traumarecovery #relationshipbuilding #education #braveleaders
🌟As this term and school year draw to a close, we wanted to say thank you to all our amazing education colleagues! 🌟 We are so grateful to you for the energy, passion and care you offer. 💙Wishing you a summer of rest, ease and joy to refill your cups! 💙
📦Delivery 💌 One of these packages will soon be making its way to each of our amazing Children We Care For who will be either starting in Reception or Year 7 in September, or have just finished their final year in Secondary school. We hope that the parcels spark some joy!

Today will be all about joy, connection and play as we join our amazing @westsussex_eps to deliver Trauma-Informed Relational Practice training. Coming along today? We can't wait to explore PACE, Tree of Life, Therapeutic Stories and Theraplay-inspired activities with you!
The ☀️ is shining on West Sussex today as our team make their way to meet with some of our fantastic young people for a day of 'Total Respect'.
The Impact of Trauma - through the eyes of a child 🩵 What a wonderful day we are having with some of our amazing Early Years colleagues exploring the impact of ACEs and trauma on a child's ability to feel safe enough to engage, play and learn 💙
Fatima Whitbread opening day 2 of the NAVSH conference. A mascara warning was needed and a timely reminder of the power of a bright shining star in the lives of our children. #NAVSH24
💙To our colleagues in education - thank you for the difference you make every day💙

Thank you Samantha Morton. Representation matters.
Thank you Samantha Morton. Representation matters.
In 'The Impact of Trauma - Through the Eyes of Child' training, we use VR and neuroscience to explore how the lived experiences of children can impact their ability to engage in learning. Interested? Here are our dates for the rest of the academic year: westsussex.gov.uk/media/19840/vs…
It’s #TimetoTalk Day - a chance for all of us to be more open about mental health. NHS West Sussex Talking Therapies provide free mental health support for people with anxiety and depression in West Sussex. Find out more: orlo.uk/8DI8j #MentalHealthWestSussex
The relationships we build with our young people can make the world of a difference. The majority of therapeutic moments don't take place in therapy,they take place in schools. Day in day out relational moments make a difference. 🧠🌱
