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. 🧠🌱
PACE, in a nutshell. Responding to children in a therapeutic way doesn't need to be complicated. Here's my quick-start guide. 👇
A great day with our colleagues @WSvirtualschool sharing relational approaches to support CYP who have experienced trauma, a reminder of PACE approaches, Theraplay, and using the tree of life, a tool for gathering info and telling life stories in a person-centred way #twitterEPs
A NEW infographic sharing some experiences & feelings which children in foster care, adoption, kinship, SGO have shared about navigating through & experiencing. Course lots of strengths & other aspects- captured on another image.
🩵 We've loved discussing the importance of relationships with our colleagues across West Sussex this week, so we thought we'd leave this quote from @BDPerry here... 'Relationships are the agents of change and the most powerful therapy is human love'
These two definitions are helpful to widen our understanding of trauma- we have different coping mechanisms and experiences that we bring and it is how you experience something- not what has happened to you that determines its long-term impact. #MentalHealth #TraumaInformed

Alongside our fabulous EP colleagues we have been very busily finalising our training and events offer for the coming academic year. Colleagues in settings and schools - we are SO excited to share our programme with you soon, keep an eye on your inboxes 👀
Making the best use of our virtual reality headsets. More training for our social care teams during the school holidays. We are so pleased to be working towards Cambridgeshire becoming a trauma informed authority @SSMoir @CambsCC @attachmentrc #trauma
So. Just had a great review for our 17 yr old foster child. They’ve agreed we can adopt him. ❤️❤️❤️. We’ve not been blessed having our own children but we will have adopted two now and they are my children and I love them, so we have been blessed. #fostering #adoption 🧵
Never stop dreaming... When one of the boys at the agency wants to go to his prom in drag in a chauffeur driven car...A foster agency that goes above and beyond in every way.
“We’re trying to get behind the behaviour to the sadness”. A line from DDP training which has stayed with me. What we see on the surface from children who have experienced trauma & loss can be rooted in fear & shame. Safety & comfort may be unfamiliar and therefore hard to trust.
"Let’s not forget that we have deep grief being lived out in many of our looked after and adopted children. Underneath the rage often lies overwhelming sadness." Louise Michelle Bombèr 2023 Founding Director of TouchBase #miscuing #blockedtrust #beyondwords @AdoptionUK
Connection is protection.
BELONGING 🫶 @BDPerry tells us that our history of connectedness is a better indicator of our outcomes than our history of adversity. We can use our positive relationships to communicate to children that they are not alone, that they belong, that they are safe, seen and heard.
