Specialist Practitioner with @FuturesLeeds - providing support to young people following care proceedings. #MentalHealthNurse#DBT#EMDR Views are my own.
@FuturesLeeds all had a great day and the Annual Child and Family Social Work Conference - we were lucky to hear from some amazing parents from Leeds and it was fantastic to learn from them how we can support people better
@BigBabyTrial @UHCW_RandD@nhsuhcw@s_quenby@laurenewington@clark_66@LindseyPrue01 I really hope part of this trail includes educating women on the risks of inductions - as someone who experienced a “failed induction” which led to an EMCS I was never told of any risks.
It also seems extremely unethical to reward those running trails for recruiting women
Happy Monday! Futures kick off the week completing their Quality Mark DV training; so important to equip ourselves with the skills to support our young people to our best abilities 🙌 #TeamDevelopment#FuturesTeamLeeds
It is so important to think about how we view resistance and “lack of engagement” im proud that @FuturesLeeds we really try to think about what we can do to aid engagement - it is our problem not our young folk.
Today I read possibly the most sensitive parenting assessment I’ve ever seen.. a parents resistance to discussing past events was not used to evidence a ‘lack of engagement’, but instead simply and crucially acknowledged how painful that would have been to confront.
