The Oliver McGowan Training in England means a consultation is now underway to seek views on learning disability/autism training in the draft code of practice for health and care staff after the tragic death of Oliver who suffered a severe reaction to anti-psychotic medication.

The unbelievably sad fact that people have to die before statutory training is put in place. https://t.co/0X9mOtaPgZ

3) Make this new year a time of resolve, a firm determination to 'do' self care, self compassion. Embrace the challenge of personal growth... this year make time for you!

[Talking Heads Counselling @TalkingHeads_Em]

1) A RESOLUTION is defined as a decision to do or not do something. RESOLVE is defined as firm determination to do something
New Year often brings resolutions... give up smoking, give up drinking, give up chocolate, do more exercise.... Often we set ourselves up for failure...

[Talking Heads Counselling @TalkingHeads_Em]

2) with unachievable goals. Personal growth is continuous, there is no end goal, no expectation, just a desire to improve, to find ways that can help us on the journey as we navigate the challenges that life throws at us...

Parental burnout is REAL — especially at this time of year.

Thankfully, you can talk to another parent carer about these feelings and get some practical advice by booking a call with our Listening Ear team. We have appointments available from 5 January 👉 https://t.co/89K3UORbTp
