Ultimately, as more people adopt this mindset and advocate for systems that prioritize therapeutic love, radical tenderness and connection, we may see a shift towards a more compassionate society.
“There's not that much mention about therapeutic love in services. People seem to shy away from that. And, I think it could be called kindness…
The relationships is what connects us. And for me, that is what has kept me going, and it's kept me alive actually. And it's the foundation of understanding people and feeling what they're feeling and being, and actually meeting where they're at.”
ANDIE TRIANTAFILLOU
“So when you stop looking for the title, when you stop looking for the power, and you focus on what that love is to you as a person, as an individual, then you can be able to translate it to other people.”
MICHAEL CLARKE
“If the things we are doing don't lead to that, talk about the connectedness of us all and the collectiveness of it all. I don't want to be in that system, you know, and I want to redesign that system.”

Such a great day @skfamily conference yesterday. Great to see all the support being offered to families in stockport and to talk about @CommaStockport. Thank you to our wonderful peer mentors for their help & to everyone who came over to chat🦋
A great turn out at the hub this afternoon! We spent time identifying areas we would like to progress in, and then celebrating our own/each other’s strengths. I am always so inspired by the resilience and compassion shown by these incredible women 🥰 #comma

'HOPE boxes' have been developed by mothers of babies taken into state care at birth. They explain why these boxes are so important alongside Claire Mason from @LancasterUni:

Hi, do any of our colleagues or friends know of any visual resources/images to explain child protection processes and professionals roles, to support a non-English speaking client who does not read or write? Thank you 🦋
Our team has just completed @APTtraining Running DBT Skills course. Thank you Ali Modaresi for sharing your extensive knowledge on this area and beyond. Extremely thought provoking, challenged some old belief systems & gave real life strategies and techniques we can implement 📚

I am looking for participants to take part in a photovoice project, exploring the experiences of mothers who have been subject to recurrent care proceedings. Please share with anyone who may be interested, and let me know if you would like any more information
A lovely day at the COMMA drop in today. Lots of self compassions & celebrating each other’s strengths! Sometimes we need a little help to see the light in the dark ☀️
