'A story of trust and the chance to belong...'
This little except from #TheLittleIceberg resonates with me completely
A sense of belonging brings us comfort, joy, companionship & connection - it breathes life into our very being
We'll be talking about this in May
Come join us

On #InternationalMensDay we spoke to 2 young men about their experience of using #Kitbag in the classroom!
🗣️ "I think everybody should have the chance to try kitbag"
🗣️"It helped us talk about our feelings a lot easier"
Hear what else Richard & Callum enjoyed about Kitbag 👇

It was hearing @DrBurkeHarris speak at the @ACEAwareNation seninar in 2018 that lit a fire in me and introduced me to Bryan Posts work.
This is fantastic interview with them both.
Love her analogy-instead of an oxygen mask we need a scuba suit.

Helpful highlighting of #systemicbarriers to positive outcomes via @janehmul @SeedTalks @FriendsMtgHouse rather solely focusing on individualistic family #ACEs. Plus, links between #earlyadversity and self-soothing/ comfort seeking/ #addiction.

Such a powerful statement from @MichaelMarmot at @ACEAwareNation 2024 recalling Conservative govt ministers effectively saying to him, "You can't say we're killing people!" His reply? "Well, yes I can. Yes, I can say you are killing people."

"Only a third of parents in UK think that there children will have more opportunities than they did. What have we done?" asks @MichaelMarmot on @ACEAwareNation's Webinar

This slide has appalling statistics. How can we have 1 million children living in destitution in the year 2022. @ACEAwareNation @Cyrenians1968

"Children are growing up in *destitution* in the UK. Destitution. They are coming to hospital with rickets. Rickets." says @MichaelMarmot at @ACEAwareNation - with a proper tone of disdainful astonishment.

Listening to @MichaelMarmot talking about the impact of poverty. The greater the deprivation, the shorter the life expectancy, the greater the risk of infant mortality, the more likely children face obesity. "It doesn't have to be this way." @ACEAwareNation
ACE-Aware Nation retweeted
Fascinating discussion about children living in poverty and the influence on their development and outcomes from Michael Marmot @ACEAwareNation. "Poverty in childhood is not good for the developing child." Some stark statistics around this.

Mayor @AndyBurnhamGM telling Chair @garywrobinson about the importance of #hope for young people -- telling of the initiatives they have put in place in Greater Manchester to boost that sense of #hope. And now he has moved on to the importance of #trust. @ACEAwareNation

"If children don't leave school with a sense of hope for the future, they are on a path to a lifetime of poor health." @AndyBurnhamGM - talking about improving the life chances of children. "Fundamental enablers" include housing and readiness to start school @ACEAwareNation

@MichaelMarmot reflecting on how much he has learned from working with @AndyBurnhamGM in Greater Manchester. Science in action. That is why we were keen to have both their perspectives here at @ACEAwareNation 2024. Those of us working to build community need all these stories.

Hearing @MichaelMarmot at @ACEAwareNation run through the number of Prime Ministers & Chancellors that the UK had between 2010 & 2024 is a bit shocking to recall. He called it 'utter chaos' for families & society. You can see it reflected in his graphs.
ACE-Aware Nation retweeted
@MichaelMarmot makes the point tonight at @ACEAwareNation that the likelihood of #ACES increases with deprivation. This is why we need to think about what communities *feel* like. That has biological impacts for children & families.

"We must trust that everyone is capable of having a good life. You must back your people. The system must back all the people."

We are grateful to @AndyBurnhamGM for sharing the story of how #GreaterManchester became a #MarmotCity
"If you are to help people on a path of recovery it cannot be a prescriptive approach. It is names not numbers. They are individual pathways".
