“We need to nurture our families, and we need to do it from the bottom up” - Sir Harry Burns. My hero! #aces #ACEawarenation

Absolutely agree w/ this, our school systems must nourish the staff if we really want to nurture our students. We must privilege the relationships that are critical to addressing trauma & building resilience if we want learning to happen #RelationshipCentredSchools #OneGoodAdult

"My Ma's got her own trauma and so probably has my Dad. This is not about blame, shame or judging parents." @James_vru courageously sharing his experiences to help understanding of what #ACEAwareNation looks like.

Not a dry eye in the house as @James_vru teaches us about compassion #ACEAWareNation Linda Quinn

Thank you @James_vru for your honesty about your own life, the support you’ve provided to so many others along the way & your inspiration to all at the #ACEAwareNation conference today. Scotland is truly benefiting from your ACEs to assets journey.

Currently at the #ACEawarenation conference in Glasgow. Amazing speakers - Harry Burns John Carnochan💜 Dr. Nadine Burke Harris -

Really wishing I had some Scottish heritage today - the work they’re doing for their communities and the society as a whole is SO INCREDIBLE, SO HOPEFUL, SO COMPASSIONATE, SO PROACTIVE #ACEawarenation ACE-Aware Nation

Here we go. The voice of Resilience Doc in the room. Dr. Nadine Burke Harris reminding us that real change is possible. #AceAwareNation

“The healing power of connection” Dr. Nadine Burke Harris says it out front o the stage - and back stage I punch the air in delight. #AceAwareNation

I’m sad to leave Glasgow, people seem really kind here. And WHAT a conference! Utterly brilliant. #ACEAwareNation Suzanne Zeedyk Tigers Group connected baby

Excited about today; brilliant place to learn and share practice. I’m speaking at 11.30 - what it means to be a ‘therapeutic school’

Ian Wright we are at a conference thinking about the impact teachers have on lives and have just watched the video of you meeting Mr Brockley. Thank you so much for providing such a moving learning experience for us Emily Barlow @octaviahousesch

Brené Brown thinking with Emily Barlow @octaviahousesch about the importance of empathy in the relationship between teachers and children #NASSConf

Thank you so much to all who came to my workshop this morning; your care, energy and thoughtfulness towards your pupils was just brilliant. Amazing to see how much our children are valued and remain at the centre of all we do #nassconference #empathy #therapeuticschools

The Scottish ACES Movement is asking this too. Why has it taken us 20 years to pay better attention to children's pain? Pauline Scott 🍊💜 Tigers Group ACE-Aware Nation Dundee & Angus ACE hub @RenfrewshireH West Lothian ACEs Hub Craigmillar Community ACEs Hub Dr Warren Larkin

Am off to visit @octaviahousesch & Emily Barlow this pm! Excited to see the school and talk about our ACEs event on 1st May nasschools.org.uk/events/adverse…

Huge thanks to @octaviahousesch and Emily Barlow for yesterday’s visit! Loved the calm atmosphere in school & great to see butchery skills in action & to witness an early performance of a future music star! Well done to all staff and students

This is why I’m passionate about a therapeutic approach with ALL children and young people. Empathy, compassion and EVERY interaction underpinned by unconditional positive regard. Connection, not disconnection. It’s the only thing that makes sense. #connection #empathy #ACEs x.com/sfwchange/stat…

Thinking together with teachers and therapists today at Virtual School Conference in Lambeth. Wonderful guest speaker Louise M Bomber, who I’ve admired and wanted to meet for years!
