Leaps of faith. Social change. Human potential... I can be an over-sharer. And I write. Views my own.

@msmithrob @UKYouth To be fair, it's not a great one of any of us... 🤣

The @UKYouth team excited to kick off two days of cross-sector exploration about doing better for young people by working better together! #JoinedUp #youth #education #socialwork

[Lauren K Oliver @loliver1]

Mapping the system with craft! #JoinedUp @UKYouth #youthwork #teachers #education #socialwork

[Lauren K Oliver @loliver1]

This can only mean one thing... the youth workers are running the next session! #JoinedUp @UKYouth

[Lauren K Oliver @loliver1]

Noticing a strong mental health theme across sectors - how are we supporting the health and wellbeing of those who support the health and wellbeing of young people in school, in communities and in families? #JoinedUp @UKYouth #youthwork #socialwork #teachers #education

[Lauren K Oliver @loliver1]

Taking the discussion deep after lunch - what pressures do youth workers, social workers and teachers experience? And how do we see each other's sector? What do we wish each other would do differently? #JoinedUp @UKYouth #youthwork #socialwork #teachers #education

[Lauren K Oliver @loliver1]

Quiet focus time while we use Marshall Ganz's #publicnarrative model to think about our own #StoryofSelf so we can build a collective #StoryofUs and a powerful #StoryofNow @UKYouth #JoinedUp #youthwork #education #socialwork

[Lauren K Oliver @loliver1]

We need clear purpose, time, resources and leadership to work coherently together and to make a real difference for young people - Trevor Blackman @ECPtweeting #JoinedUp @UKYouth #youthwork #socialwork #education

[Lauren K Oliver @loliver1]

Experiences as a youth worker and teacher led Loic Menzies from @TheCfEY to think about why and how young people show up differently in youth work and education settings. What does this tell us about working better together? #JoinedUp @UKYouth #youthwork #education #socialwork

"We are here because the support we're giving young people isn't working. Today marks the day when we come together to change that" James Townsend from @reachfeltham starting the day with purpose #joinedup @UKYouth #youthwork #education #socialwork #collaboration

@jackwhitehall Hi Jack, my 5yr old son wants you to know "your movie Jungle Cruise is my favourite movie. And you are one of my favourite people in it. I liked the bit when you made friends with the jaguar. Thanks, bye 👋from Kai"

[Lauren K Oliver @loliver1]

@TheRock my 5yr old son wants you to know "I am a big fan of Jungle Cruise. It's one of my favourite movies and you are my favourite person in it. I liked the other good guys too. I love your movie. And also, bye 👋 from Kai"

@YajYak22 @Marilynrules1 I'm 44 and had no symptoms at all after either dose of AZ. Looks like it's really unpredictable (at least on the surface level) who will and who won't. I'm type 2 diabetic and would be considered significantly overweight, so I thought I might have some... but no 🤷‍♀️

@unicornthorn @MorganCataldo and this one that led me to the other one. They pull apart the identity threads that we have struggled to tackle in Y-Change in the past. You might have tackled it by now, but these two threads really get into the nuance.

[Lauren K Oliver @loliver1]

@ellle_em @MorganCataldo this thread 🧡

[Lauren K Oliver @loliver1]

@jillastark Ugh. I'm so sorry.

[Lauren K Oliver @loliver1]

@jillastark does this mean you can set your family?? Thought of you when I saw it... Aussies can come here quarantine-free from May 17 https://t.co/GKhC9nyRPB

@BuchananLiana With everything we know about the impact of trauma, that this isn't part of the standard approach is tantamount to institutional neglect.

The fact that, as you say, this isn't the first time we're hearing this... that's willful ignorance.

It will never not make me furious.

We are still not speaking enough about child sexual assault and abuse. These statistics are staggering, but sadly not surprising.

@Amelia_Draws I don't know where you're based but St Kilda Mums is amazing. And not just St Kilda based - that's just where they started.
