What if we started focusing on how we can prevent and buffer the impact of trauma by being more curious, non-judgemental, accepting, empathetic, flexible, proactive and collaborative? #FlipTheNarrative – at Castlereagh, Northern Ireland
Reflecting on the power of this quote from @peteralevine. Resonates entirely, and probably for many who have lived on the edges of this current society.
Reach out, actively listen, share and hold the space for your fellow humans. Be human kind.

The summer break is a great time for education staff to develop good self-care habits, so that when term starts again, you have techniques you can turn to in stressful times. We've teamed up with @EdSupportUK to produce free resources to help with this. crowd.in/LGQsZW
