PACE, in a nutshell. Responding to children in a therapeutic way doesn't need to be complicated. Here's my quick-start guide. 👇

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. 🧠🌱

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

Thank you Samantha Morton. Representation matters.

💙To our colleagues in education - thank you for the difference you make every day💙
