"It isn’t just about what’s happened to you, but also what didn’t happen that should have"

And how consistently that happened, too - increasing evidence that unpredictability is itself a source of adversity (feast and famine)

Self-care reminder. So important to factor in to the working week.

[James McTaggart @JamesEdPsych]

So much great advice in this article, incl:

"Don’t be scared of someone’s grief. Face it and walk into it, because you being there dilutes those emotions a little bit

Don’t tell us what our loved one would be thinking

Check on us at weekends ... sunny days"

And much more

Trainee Educational Psychologists in Scotland are calling for an urgent review of funding. With over 25% of funding eroded by inflation, it’s time for change. #TwitterEPs

If we want EPs in Scotland in the future @ScotEDU has to reform this funding - trainees are effectively self-funded, or through family and debt

Every cohort I have worked with are brilliant professionals and they deserve better - so do the children and families they serve

@MRSTMXN The sky was stunning this morning ❤️

Very important to consider the complexities of grief for individuals.

@JimJim4077 Thank you so much for supporting me and being such an important part of my journey. I never thought I would achieve this. The past two years have been incredibly tough navigating the loss of my Mum. I am proud I kept pushing on 🎉

[Fiona Ewan @FionaE_EPiT]

Such a memorable day for my girl 💙

[James Wilson @JimJim4077]

Absolutely massive thank you to @KillieTrust @KilmarnockFC @ConkerCaptain for making today such a memorable experience for my wee girl as match mascot. She was buzzing from start to finish and loved every minute. Shout out to Mairi who was fabulous with the kids today 🔵⚪🐿️⚽❤️

@SophEld94 Enjoying my third year as an EPiT.
It’s the school holidays here so I am doing admin tasks and prepping some training. Hope you are getting on well too 😊 xx

[Fiona Ewan @FionaE_EPiT]

@SophEld94 Well done Sophie. Good enough was something I had to remind myself in my studies too.
