It's okay if you're feeling anxious about receiving your GCSE results tomorrow. Feeling a little anxious before an event that means a lot to you is perfectly normal. But if you're struggling to cope, please talk to someone you trust or visit our website for support.

“If a grief becomes traumatic, it’s more like a deep well and much harder for the young person to step out of.”

We were pleased to collaborate with the #UKTraumaCouncil @AFNCCF on the development of their new free resources on traumatic bereavement👉 https://t.co/XTcuqHUJ37

@Claire_AEP I'm a big fan of visuals; talking mats, emojis, sorting and simple scaling tasks etc. Other than that; shorten, simplify, give extra processing time. You could also share some questions ahead of time.

Happy Friday everyone!

How are you feeling today?

Take a moment to pause and reflect on how far we have come over the last year. You may realise in this moment that you do not give yourself enough credit. 🥰

@Claire_AEP Really important group to consider in and amongst all the broader factors that underpin managed moves. Likely combining two separate streams of research into something new and unique! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with 💭

[Darlington Educational Psychology Service @DarlingtonEPS]

@Claire_AEP No problem - let us know how you get on, this is an area we're interested in too so would be good to make sure we're not missing any good stuff you find 👍
