Parents and Carers of Portsmouth: this is a free community event delivered by a range of mental health services, including one of our EPs Dr Issy Cone. Lots of interesting and informative workshops including neurodiversity, anxiety and EBSNA. Plz share with your networks 🙏🏼 #edpsychs #edusky

Yesterday our senior EP took part in a session to explore how to reduce young people not in education, employment or training post 16. We tried out card sorts to help young people work out what’s important to them and had a go with a virtual reality headset that they use for interview practice

Great team meeting this week, sharing our practice with each other - whole class consultations, Circles of Adults and the use of puppets to explain emotional regulation to a child using the Dan Siegel “flipping your lid” model

We’ve been providing supervision for the well-being team in one of our secondary schools this week- we enjoyed this lovely oasis of green that we came across

We love these messages that one of our team members found in one of their schools today

Elsa supervision today- we had a good conversation about the importance of connection and belonging for children and for us! And got to play with puppets

Our first team day of the year- getting together to discuss our vision, mission and values as well as updates on neurodiversity, emotionally based school avoidance and critical incident support

The team have had lots of planning meetings this week and last. On our travels, we found this cosy corner in a room for children who need some extra help and we loved the giant feelings octopus

We’ve started our new school year in Portsmouth EP team delivering training for Harbour, our specialist Social Emotional and Mental Health school, on supporting children with literacy difficulties. Wonderful to see such motivated and dedicated teaching staff
