No EP feels comfortable letting children, families and schools down but this strike is about making sure our profession is able to meet their needs and continue supporting them meaningfully and sustainably in an ever-increasingly difficult system #SaveOurServices
📢Educational psychologists in England and Wales will strike tomorrow We spoke to @CathLowther, General Secretary of @AEPsychologists, and other EPs participating, to explore the issue further. Read here: edpsy.org.uk/blog/2023/educa… #TwitterEPs #SaveOurServices - please share

Love this! Such a helpful way to visualise the importance of safety
I visited a medium secure unit yesterday and asked the psychologist there if he does therapy. He showed me this framework by @KimSGolding. I thought it was such a good way of showing the different intervention needs that come before therapy that I decided to draw it...

Read through this book on the sofa this morning. Excellent end quote - “Emotions are the glue and gunpowder of human social relations. Emotion Coaching makes the glue stronger and the gunpowder less explosive.”
