For the new @ScotSentencing guidelines on Young People to work this is the sort of basic information all judges will require. It isn’t enough to understand the impact of trauma. The key is how people respond armed with knowledge.

Scotland’s drug death emergency must not be forgotten during #COP26 .
Good that Nicola Sturgeon, Douglas Ross and Angela Constance will be visiting Bluevale Community Club together to focus on recovery.
@ScottishLabour showed solidarity with recovery activists on #ClimateMarch
If you are a survivor of any kind of childhood trauma and you want your voice heard please get in touch and retweet @HeartsofAce2 and @7030Campaign and please believe your voice will help make a difference #TraumaInformed #ACEs #BeTheChange
Spot on as usual @gerrydiamond71
A case of,"how will they learn if we don't punish them."Punishing a child NEVER helps them regulate their behaviour, you're only dosing up their stress response.If we want our young people to behave better,we first need to understand why they are behaving in this way.🧠🌱

Men don’t like talking about suicide or feeling weak so sexual abuse to a man is the most humiliating thing in the world esp thinking it’s only you. We need to create a society where men feel safe to speak up and woman for that matter. #TraumaInformed #NotAshamed

If a child sees their parents constantly fighting then they will grow up bemused with how relationships work and will more than likely go on to repeat that behaviour. We must learn that we are the role models in the early years and we can influence their lives for the better.

Young people's behaviours are the most valuable information we have about the state of their nervous system.A nervous system soaked in cortisol and adrenaline with trauma, chaos and adversity, inbuilt into their biological system. This fuels stress and exacerbates behaviour. 🧠🌱

The Wisdom of Trauma will be rebroadcast at the end of this month, as will the "Talks On Trauma" series. Over 4 million people worldwide have watched this film so far, which speaks to the deep hunger for a trauma-informed revolution in our thinking. wisdomoftrauma.com

Children deserve to have their unique story heard wp.me/p4HQcW-5K Not everything that fits in a box is a box.
Amazing woman and certainly inspired me to not only embrace gratitude but lose the fear of speaking about the abuse I suffered 💜

The first 3 years shape the rest of your life. Mine was built with murder, loss, emotional shut downs around me and the hardwired thought that I can disappear at any moment even by a family member. This deprived me of the resilience I needed for the trauma that lay ahead #trauma

To understand the behaviour of people who experience #trauma, you have to understand how one might behave in moments of danger. Ruth Lanius provides a helpful guide here that all frontline practitioners would benefit from.

It is estimated that abuse, neglect & other #AdverseChildhoodExperiences play a role in almost a half of mental health disorders in children and almost a third in adults. – at Manhattan, NY

The #ACEs science and evidence base tells us that the solution is a fireside out one.
That we need to get it right for the parents in order to get it right for the children.
Trauma is intergenerational, we need to support families to heal together.
If you wait, it’s too late!
