Some lovely gifts from an amazing team who I will miss so much Gateshead Psychological Service ! Today was our development day reflecting back on our PATH and positives and challenges in the year… I was full of emotion 🤣😬 not quite goodbye yet but looking forward to summer ☀️ #twittereps

Team Day yesterday: - quality assurance of EHC advices - revisiting our PATH & reflecting on how far we've come - shared lunch & connection time - each sharing a positive, memorable piece of work from the last year 😊✨

Just some of the work we have been engaged with this academic year - it's nice to take a step back and reflect on the positive moments and variety of skills we have used ✨ wishing everyone a lovely summer and well-deserved rest #TwitterEPs

Last week some of our team got together to reflect on the psychology that underpins our work and to create a bank of resources/visuals that we can share with staff, parents, YP... we were drawn to a lot of pieces by Juliet Young (she/her) for their simplicity & appeal ✨#TwitterEPs

We want to remind services, parents and carers Gateshead have a series of pre-recorded training videos to support develop a child in key skills that will be beneficial in the transition from nursery into reception⬇️⬇️⬇️ totally free !! #twittereps servicesforschoolsnortheast.org.uk/Page/32132

Another approach we discussed in our psychological theories session was ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ✨ we discussed how this can be used with older children, teens, & young adults as part of person-centred planning #TwitterEPs

On #gcseresultsday2024 we wanted to share this visual from YoungMinds. Your results don't define you. Look after yourselves and each other✨🫂
