New UK study of 16k people

ACEs like abuse, neglect & conflict have a profound lifelong impact

Strongest links: poor mental health & severe pain at age 50. 4+ ACEs significantly increase risk

Our work in schools is vital to build resilience & break the cycle

I spent a rare 6 hours in a Special Resource Base today!

Chess strategists, ‘super fast’ races, desk-drawn maths, car experts & storytime joy.

Reminded me why I love EP work: the magic happens when we work alongside children & apply psychology🎉

Thank you to all our friends & family... it was an unbelievable experience, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves ♥️

Yesterday I met the man (child football coach) who made such a positive impact on my life

We caught up & I told him how much he had positivley influenced my life trajectory. I could tell that it meant the absolute world to him & it did to me too❤️

So this happened today.

A very sweet child decided that they enjoyed my company so much this morning that they made me a drawing to go home with ♥️

How cute 😁 the positives of being an EP hey!

Can you tell what the image is 👀

These are the general answers I got back Dan. Obviously it is something we always needs to be mindful of. When using AI I tend to steer away from using names, identifying features (e.g., school). You can take advantage of API access & enterprise solutions with enhanced data protection guarantees too

Oooh a bit of AI...

although not the ethical implications, these were the pros and cons from my presentation over 15 months ago... still very relevant.

The biggest one for me as a profession is the misue of AI. Many will misuse it and i see it as an extension of what we do... not what we do...

Absolutely devastated that I've misplaced these resources which have become incredibly useful!

They took me an awfully long time to create so if any Norfolk or Liverpool schools see them lying around, please, please contact me 🤣

I want my Bitmoji Blocks back 😭

A day of emotions and social skills and a chance for me to get my LEGO out with everyone😍

One of the most emotive days today for me as an EP

From experiencing frustration, anger & empathy to being humbled, grateful and astounded by an unbelievably resilient young person's journey so far

So much to reflect on and none more important than HCPC 1.1, 4.4, & 12.28

Just watched this incredibly powerful video

No question smart devices have improved our lives, but to what extent have they damaged childhood? I mean curiosity, imagination, creativity, unstructured play

Childhood is too precious to lose 😢
