I'm literally ecstatic by how well the book has been received. So many fab books out this year. So THANK YOU for reading this one; a book entirely focused on examples of practise to bring relationships to the core of everything, whatever sector you work in

When I find out the name of the school sanctioning a child in care who fought back after being bullied by removing access to a hot meal I shall make a lot of noise!Withdrawing food as a 'punishment' from ANY child, let alone a child in care, is abuse! We must never tolerate this

We need a national conversation about the mental health epidemic facing our children and young people. Guess what? The answer does not lie in CAMHS. The answer does not lie in pathologising our CYP. The answers for most children lie in focusing on supporting good MH and wellbeing

I took a complimentary copy of my book round to my mother's. I said "are you inviting me in for a tea?" Much mumbling about being busy followed and that was that. Complicated relationships remain so. Emotional unavailability remains so. Even at 51, I sometimes still feel it.

There is something inherently misogynistic about being told by a male GP that you need a blood test to prove you're in the menopause. Nobody told me I'd have have to deal with such nonsense. Why are we are not talking about this???

If I hear of another setting saying they've 'done' trauma training I think I shall combust! 1. It's never done. It is a constant reflection and inquiry. 2. It is not a tick box exercise. It is a way of being that requires deep exploration 3. Your trainer needs to make this clear

A 'trauma' lens invites us to look at structural inequalities, inequity and social structures. A 'mental health' lens locates the problem within the individual as something that sits inside them, that the individual has. This narrative is everywhere I look. This must be resisted.

If you're working with people, you're working with trauma. It's not 'over there', it's not something that happens to 'them' and not 'us' (or 'us' and not 'them'), it's not something you don't need to think about. If you're working with people, you're working with trauma.

2. Withdrawing hot food, I have learnt today, is within 'behaviour' policies & is called 'silent lunch.' The removal of hot food is deliberately used as a punishment in our schools. Yes, you read that right... in the middle of a 'cost of living crisis' removing food is a sanction

This is key: it doesn't matter what service you offer, what approach, how many certificates are held. It all happens in relationship. So if you don't have that, you don't have anything at all. Relationships ARE the work. So relationships ARE the priority.

A misunderstanding about trauma is the notion that recovery from it is about 'going back' to the person we were before trauma. We are in a constant state of adapting to experiences and relationships throughout life! There is never a place to go back to. We integrate. #trauma

I cannot stand the phrase 'giving voice.' You don't 'give voice' like you decide who can speak. People have 'voice.' What is often missing is being heard. It feels more like learning to 'tune in'. 'Give' is arrogant. I'm curious about how this area is being better expressed...?

4. For this child, it is an extension of abuse. It is system harm. It is another layer of trauma. It is absolutely categorically disgusting. It is NEVER acceptable to be that person, that setting, that service, that system. I have not mentioned the LA, the school or the agency

'Routine mental health checks for every schoolchild' misses the point. It's not a 'check', it's a culture, a society, a community. It is the opposite of all that sits behind the ideology of 'austerity'. It is th opposite of current ed policy. It is time, connection, relationships
