Self-depreciating ND chronic overthinker. Navigating the SEN support hellscape & despairing of brexit-Britain. Lover of science, woodlands, board games and losing hours to computer games. Too distracted by children to read a good book anymore.
How and where?

Watching in horror, but yes, we're OK x

Hope you dodge the worst of it. I've family just over on the mainland. I'm right in the middle of England (Sheffield), but even here we've had tree and roof damage in some places.

Any recommendations on the science front?

It was also quite reassuring that I think so far we're approaching this "right". It's a really really key message that there has to be a "new normal" after recovery, and it's going to take considerable time to figure out what that looks like (which the formal education system makes incredibly hard).

My copy arrived yesterday and I binge read quite a chunk of it already to support my son (who's a bit young for it directly). Any thoughts on places to go for support for parents managing this within the reality of the non home-ed education system to get sufficient "space" for recovery?

I'm not brave, or new, or for that matter, a wonder - I'm here though if that counts

thank you, I'll check that out - burnout is our current reality and it's tough
