Last few books left if you want a signed copy of my book Fifty-One Moves. If you are a social worker, criminologist, foster carer, residential care or anyone else who wants to read about a journey through the care and criminal justice system. Please DM me for your signed copy before they go. Thanks.

If you're missing the World Cup, we present these scenes from Ireland 🏆

Do you work with family members of autistic people or need personalised guidance for your own family?
We’re commissioned by the NHS to offer free coaching sessions through Autism Central, a safe space to reflect on autistic wellbeing: autismcentral.org.uk/one-one

At a time in young lives when so much is changing, why add another change to those under MH care?
We want to get beyond the usual point that the CAMHS/adult transition is problematic. Exactly why? What ⬆️ or ⬇️ risk?
🚨NEW @NCISH_UK STUDY🚨
NCISH has been commissioned to examine the transition process from CAMHS to AMHS, a high-risk period for patients. To better understand this: we are asking patients, carers and clinicians to share their experiences of mental health services via survey

Part of the case for a social media ban relates to suicide & self-harm rates. In fact, the evidence is at best circumstantial & shows
The SH ⬆️ in young people began well before social media took hold.
The ⬆️ in suicide in young teens is very recent. It remains mercifully rare.

Today is #RemembranceSunday, an opportunity to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have served and who have sadly lost their lives in all wars.
Remembrance can bring back difficult feelings and emotions. Search Op COURAGE to find support if you’re struggling.

A reminder of some tips to help prepare for #BonfireNight and fireworks
When sights, sounds & smells of fireworks are triggering. #BonfireNight tips from our veterans' services:
🗓 Plan where you're comfortable
🎇Reduce triggers with sensory aids, headphones, blinds
🧘Use coping skills, breathing techniques
✋Ground with 5 senses
🗣 Talk to others

Remembrance can bring back difficult thoughts and memories.
Op COURAGE can help UK armed forces veterans, if you are struggling.
Planning how you want to take part in remembrance, practicing self-care and coping skills, talking to others, and limiting media can also be helpful.

The British pediatrician D. W. Winnicott once wrote, “There’s no such thing as a baby. There is a baby and someone.”
I’ve always loved the quote, because it so simply encapsulates our situation as the newest members of the human species: We enter the world with fine tuned powers of observation, ready to learn and engage.
But without at least one significant adult (and hopefully many more) ready to dedicate to our need for connection, it is impossible for our development to optimize.
Or as Urie Bronfenbrenner explained:
“Every child needs at least one adult who is irrationally crazy about him or her.”
You won’t run across any better example than this gorgeous video shared to IG by amyjoannswart.
It’s hard to tell who’s more crazy about the other. And that makes for a lucky little one, indeed.
