you’re heading back to work in the education system today please remember this. We are their safe place to land. Give them what they need and learning will follow. #Traumainformed

If you haven't already, I highly recommend his 📙 Cut Short: Why We’re Failing Our Youth. His chapter on shame and othering in schools resonated greatly with my experience of excluded YP in APs I've worked in. We're all part of the solution to what we've seen in the last few weeks in the UK.

New study out on ACEs - and making the mainstream media. Good!
