"for some children, school was a relief from home, for others, the structure and strict boundaries of the school day was hard to cope with, and teachers didn’t always understand" https://t.co/iRL0qX3ffW @ChildrensComm #traumainformed

[Dr. Annemarie Millar @Amillar20Millar]

We must challenge the thinking children are not affected by domestic abuse - @operationencomp acknowledges that children are victims and have a right to feel safe in school and to receive care and support.

@communityflow55 Love it 😎

[Project GIVE Wolverhampton @projectgivewv]

How awesome would it be to encourage supporters to bring a pack of pads, tampons or pants to the next @Wolves home game v/s @BurnleyOfficial in support of Wolverhampton's very own @projectgivewv to stop young people missing school because they have their period 🤗

[Growintoyourstrength @childofDVA]

Very happy to be supporting this project...

[Project GIVE Wolverhampton @projectgivewv]

Plan International (2017) found that 49% of young people in the U.K. alone missed a day of school due to having their period. Our aim is to #endperiodpoverty in schools. We will be donating boxes filled with bags of sanitary products to the schools within Wolverhampton💚 *THREAD*

Prepping for a couple of projects today, getting back into it after a break spending time with my daughter...

[Growintoyourstrength @childofDVA]

So true. Many helping professionals come from a space of lived experience. It's why we do what we do. Because we are passionate!

@HendryTina Even as a professional, I still have days where I battle the impacts of my own ACEs. Unless I respond to my own trauma, I cannot possibly respond to anyone else’s. #youcantpourfromanemptycup #traumaresponsive

[Growintoyourstrength @childofDVA]

@ChrisDevz @HendryTina Fill that cup Chris! Wise words...

[Growintoyourstrength @childofDVA]

[Andy Smith @andydsmith7]

A child in care wrote down what they wanted from a family....it’s brilliant because unbeknownst to he/she they are rewriting maslows hierarchy of needs perfectly

I am sure you will agree...not huge requests...
