Sometimes I hear โpeople have a choiceโ or โthey chose drugs/alcohol over their kids.โ Addiction is more often than not the result of childhood trauma and a need to self soothe or escape pain. Children donโt have a โchoiceโ if they face any adversities growing up. โฅ๏ธ
๐ข EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT ๐ข
Iโve officially booked on a somatic trauma therapy course so I can offer a different skill set to those trying to overcome difficult past experiences.
This will help me work with emotional and physical distress trauma can cause.
Inspiring and hopeful discussion with @Prev_Justice
We think that all people working with children and young people should hear what James has to say about healing from adversity and protecting children from online harm๐
Next month @lokiscottishrap#ItTakesAVillage#Healing
I am now available for staff well-being groups. Can adapt groups to suit the service needs.
Was a privilege to be back in the @G20YouthProject today, connecting with likeminded people ๐ซถ๐ผ.
๐ Huge thanks to @RebeccaBell86 for an insightful session with our youth project team at G20 ๐
She covered essential topics on boundaries and staff well-being, offering valuable strategies to maintain happiness both inside and outside of work and to keep everyone safe.
Rebecca tailored the session to our policies and procedures to help support our professional boundaries. We appreciate your input, thanks Rebecca! ๐ผ๐ #WellBeing #TeamG20#SafetySpace #Security MentalHealthMatters
Excited to be starting a new wellbeing group today @moving_on_inverclyde taking us right through the festive period. ๐ง๐ผโ๐ ๐ฒ ๐
Please note this group is only for those already attending Moving On.
This is what it looks like when people are empowered to have a voice. Thanks to our team of volunteers who continue to inspire change in others and lead by example โฅ๏ธ@YourVoiceInver@thebeaconarts
Prisoners week 2024 - โHear My Voiceโ
@Familyinhope I believe there are navigators in some hospitals that would help people who are admitted (maybe in A and E?) in crisis and try get them help and sign post them if struggling with addictions . X
My cup is full this evening as a four week block of the wellbeing group @MOInverclyde comes to an end.
Itโs amazing the relationships that can form in such a short space of time if the environment is right for people to flourish. Thanks for having me! ๐
As #RecoveryMonth continues, we have been working with #CBTwithRebecca who is delivering a series of sessions focusing on wellbeing. Today's session is about sleep hygiene. These topics are all areas highlighted by those on our programme as one's they struggle with. #recovery
Our 'Walk and Talk' group is back on this Monday 9th September! We will meet at 6pm across from the Old West Kirk Church on Greenock Esplanade.
Are you affected by someone elseโs drug/alcohol use? Please know, you are not alone! ๐
@G_Armstrong21 Wow those are really high statistics but Iโm also not surprised. Hope we are doing better with our kids of today ๐. Will look into that book thanks ๐๐ผ.
