Ainsley delivered a workshop on ‘supporting children showing signs of anxiety’ at
@ForehillPrimary wellbeing event for parents. It was a great evening and was very well attended by staff and parents.

After our basic needs have been met, we need resources in the following four areas: bonding, mastery, meaning and skills. The Resilience Ball framework developed by @CathLowther (2022) explores how we deal with challenges.

Feedback from parents and children told us they weren’t clear on what the role of an educational psychologist is. Here is a video showing a day in the life of our educational psychologist Niamh, just one of the ways we are increasing awareness of our service 🎥

@chloeweaverEP Hi Chloe, I'm also working fulltime within a Virtual School, so lots of overlap with social care. Happy to chat if it would be helpful!

New blog on blocked care in education. How educators' relationships with children, families, colleagues, and services can become characterised by defensiveness, inflexibility, and negative narratives.

Every day in primary school, children *could* have 30mins of 'free time' where they can work on what they like.

Read a book, draw, paint, continue working on a model, research, run outside, play.

It would probably be one of the most creative parts of their day. #Teachappy

[Association of Educational Psychologists @AEPsychologists]

🧠 EPs support the mental health and wellbeing of children & young people in work we do every day.

The AEP want members to thrive & be able to offer the best support to those who need it.

Here is an important reminder to look after your wellbeing first 💚#WorldMentalHealthDay

I’m still looking for one more EP if anyone would like to speak with me? Thanks. #twittereps

Are you an Assistant EP? Or are you a qualified EP who works with Assistant EPs / oversees their work? Research participants needed for my thesis study exploring the role and impact of Assistant EPs! Please see flyer below and link. https://t.co/hP3Bba9b2V #twittereps

[James Weetman @EPontheTees]

Important report from the NCB challenging the notion that young people need to be a in a 'stable place' to access therapeutic support. Particularly important given how unstable some children's lives can be through no fault of their own:

@MorganJohn87746 @JessicaOs90 It was a fantastic event - lots of important ideas raised about how we can come together and improve practice to reduce exclusions. Plenty of next steps for us to get on with too, including planning our next piece of action research! 🤔
