I often go without lunch as too busy but this week I am going to try really hard to be better. This todays snack

When referrals to agencies get rejected but they forget to tell you

Happy Eid

One of my families has a child in HDU, I don’t know what I can do to help but I’m wishing for the best. #helpless

Only just home due to traffic, which is unusual. Seems like there are temporary lights everywhere

Some amazing feedback from a family who I’ve been supporting through a tough time. Just doing my job but makes me feel emotional at how grateful they are. No-one should be afraid to ask for help and no-one should refuse to help if they can #kindness #familysupport

Love an admin morning working from home #productive #nointeruptions

What a week. Was it only four days?

There is not enough training for practitioners who have to have challenging conversations with parents where there is serious conflict and court proceedings pending. #heartracing #outofmydepth #uncomfortablesituation

I’ve been looking for longitudinal studies about maternal eating disorders during pregnancy and long-term outcomes in offspring. Other than the epigenetic famine studies and 1 ALSPAC, I’m struggling to find references. Can anyone point me in right direction please?

#RANTALERT This country is broken, 😤 services are on their knees and it’s the most vulnerable that are suffering. There are days I feel so useless and today is one of those days 😔 I wish there was more I could do but alas I don’t have the power or money.

I have a family who live on the 12th floor in a block of flats. Today the lift was broken, I walked up. Felt ok (although had to stop a few times to catch my breath) My thighs are suddenly killing me. #ouch #unfit

Going into the long weekend having closed two families today because they no longer need me and it feels great.

Have changed my email signature to a new one which details our upcoming ‘week of action’ #allthethrills 😁

Sometimes I just don’t feel equipped to deal with the level of trauma that some of my families are experiencing. #DomesticAbuse #SubstanceMisuse #ChildNeglect #SeverePoverty

When you get to a home visit half an hour early 🤦🏻‍♀️

Finishing the day with a little reading. #traumainformedpractise

Family in crisis, social care not sure if it will step up but because I have ensured everyone’s safety for tonight it’s now not urgent. Waiting on police report before they will assess. #feelhelpless
