Quite shocked about seeing the CEO of @RCSLT following the leading figure of right-wing ideology in the UK! #TommyRobinson #RacistRiots #Islamophobia

@Hereforthend @DrMBotha I agree I found this bit hard for the same reason! I went for neither agree nor disagree for this part but a section that explains they didn’t know wouldve been nice to explain

@RCSLT I’ve just had an email scam sent to my work email asking me to activate my direct debit to RCSLT! I assume I’m not the only one. Be careful out there SLTs 😱.

@PookyH I absolutely adore heartbreak high. Very similar vibes to heart stopper and one of the main characters is AuDHD (Her character is as is the actress in real life)

[Samantha (she/her) @samsslt]

@JamesSneeSLT @FGH_SLT_NCA Absolutely brilliant, you were made for that role James!

Hi SLT twitter 👋🏻 I have a young person on my caseload who is SM after a complex period of trauma. Can anyone point me in the direction of any good reads / resources regarding SM and trauma informed therapy/interventions? Thanks in advance!

[Samantha (she/her) @samsslt]

@ChloeNkomo Sorry to be so abrupt- character limit! Here is the link to the documentary if you’re interested- https://t.co/cDr7uumNm5 it’s from 2009 so a bit outdated but I’m enjoying it and seems like a good place to start!

[Samantha (she/her) @samsslt]

@ChloeNkomo Thanks! I’ve found an old documentary and the SLT in the docu is actually the author of the SM Manual, it’s available on YouTube & seems quite informative so far. You see different therapies in progress, & hear from SLTs & a 15yo who used to be SM & her perspective on having SM.

@ChloeNkomo also, @bethmSLT @LucyBalchin1 might be helpful to you!

Can anyone point me in the direction of some #SelectiveMutism CPD/accounts to follow. I have at least 2 children on each of my mainstream school caseloads and don't remember having any specific training/teaching on it?! TIA 😊
