Backed by £150,000 from @ScotGov, @SAIAorg's Wee Breathers project helps teachers to support children - including those with care experience - in a caring, trauma-informed way, while caring for their own mental resilience.
Promise Minister @NatalieDon_ met the project leads.
When we understand trauma, we build compassion.
When we build compassion, we build resilience.
When we build resilience, we break cycles.
That’s the heart of Wee Play Days.
#TraumaInformedPractice#WeCanBreakTheCycle
Resilience grows in relationships.
Wee Play Days helps families and practitioners understand the importance of attachment, stress, and emotional connection. With this knowledge, communities can thrive.
#Resilience#StrongerTogether
Training that brings people together.
Through participatory training, Wee Play Days supports practitioners and families to learn about attachment and trauma in safe, inclusive spaces.

📷 Did you know?
Reflective practice spaces help people understand behaviour, build empathy, and strengthen relationships. Wee Play Days is weaving these spaces into everyday community life.
#ReflectivePractice#AttachmentAwareness
What is the Wee BREATHERS model?
Wee BREATHERS are attachment-informed, trauma sensitive support sessions that offer time to connect, reflect and learn within a safe and confidential space. Managing our own distress/wellbeing enables us to support the community.

📷 Why Wee Play Days?
Because every family deserves a space where they feel safe, supported, and heard. This initiative helps communities grow stronger—one relationship at a time.

SAIA's "Call to Action" is asking for recognition that reflective practice and supervision for Education Staff is essential! This shift to relational approaches must be at the heart of reducing sickness and increasing staff retention #relational#teaching#wellbeingforall
Huge thanks to everyone who came along to SAIA's Reflective Practice: Supporting our teachers event on Monday. Key point - Reflective Practice isn't a luxury its a necessity! @DrJasonLang@Place2BeScot@ThelinesBetween@BarnardosScot Dr Alan Bainbridge
We had a fantastic day yesterday at the Promise Partnership Showcase Event in Stirling - hearing about all the amazing work across Scotland to help #keepthepromise as well as showcasing the impact of our Adoption Allies and Wee BREATHERS work
Adolescence - the popular Netflix series has opened many people’s eyes to the devastation that can happen when healthy connections are replaced by social media, misogyny and anger - connections matter
Membership Mondays - at SAIA we believe that everyone has the right to feel secure and safe in their lives and relationships and we recognise the lasting impact of profound insecurity and lack of safety, join us to help make this happen!
