Wonderful two days on our Trauma Informed Schools SMHL course with some fab people.

Can't beat 'a bit of bully'. I hope!

Well that's a wrap. To all my colleagues in schools and colleges, try and switch off. Be with someone you love. Connect with people you've lost touch with. Breath

I've read some of your research and it's fascinating. It's a nuanced double edged sword

It's so complex isn't it? I've read Haidt's books and enjoyed them. There are compelling narratives there, but so many other factors influence mental health. What is your take on it?

Great afternoon yesterday listening to what our YEF schools have been doing after their TISUK training with myself and @siobhangarrett.bsky.social. Great to see some familiar faces from training growing and deepening the work.

Excellent

Say hello for me. She used to be a Head in my patch when I was a PRU Head.

Do you know Shonogh Pilgrim? @edfinch.bsky.social

Me too. I feel an explanation slide coming on...

This is a fascinating piece thanks for sharing

Hi Ed. Where did you buy such a magnificent hat? I'm a retired PRU Head and now a trainer with TISUK and WTAC, plus dabbling in my own stuff. Thinking of writing a book and doing a PhD.
