From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.

“It's all kind of an imperfect storm…Because schools weren't getting the advice early enough…because we weren't able to find the early intervention, these problems became entrenched & really tough for schools to manage”

Those families and young people that stick with you and remind you of why you came into the profession 🌟 ☺️

The one thing I’ve loved the most about learning to be an EP is the opportunity to learn more about myself, and how experiences have shaped me. Supervision is key 💚

[Dr Demi Stroud (she/her) @StroudDemi]

I am finally HCPC registered and I can now call myself an EP🤩

Time to get my focus back on my interests and re-spark my passions and focus on me 💚🪴

[Dr Keith Houghton @EPHoughton]

Oh Yes😎

This has come around quickly. Come and join me next week for a quick 25-minute whistle-stop tour of Lego Based Therapy and why I think it is possibly the best intervention out there 👀

This special issue of ECJ brings together research on child and youth homelessness, an area that has received relatively little academic attention, particularly in the UK.

Take a look at some of the fantastic articles.

[Dr James Davies (PhD) 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

Once your distress has been medicalised, medicated & depoliticised, the government will now prescribe its final remedy: cutting your financial support so that you're now forced to return to the precarious, low paid & demoralising work that made you miserable in the first place.

[Dr Demi Stroud (she/her) @StroudDemi]

@TEPHoughton Thank you Keith. It’s going to be a long and fun bank holiday weekend haha 😛 we can do this 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[Dr Demi Stroud (she/her) @StroudDemi]

New report by @TheKingsFund & @jrf_uk lays bare the toll poverty is taking on the nation’s health.

"It's crucial that political leaders understand the direct consequences of failing to tackle the root causes of poverty." @romanpsych.

Hopefully, this can add to the debate and encouragement to move away  traditional punitive practices and towards relational approaches. A systematic review of children and young people’s perceptions and experiences. https://t.co/nXKwDtkL49
