I've refreshed this illustration after a conference at UWE Bristol last week.

Keeping in theme with our posts on avoidance we love this illustration posted by Lucy.

We *can* spread our wings and fly 🦅

Our Warm Hub is back tomorrow, for women and children only on Tuesdays! See the poster below for details or call Venus on 0151 474 4744 for more information.

Absolutely love this idea for schools! Great way to engage and connect with families and services in the community 👏🏻

Finally updated my Maslow’s hierarchy of school needs drawing from last summer.

Children need their basic needs met, feel safe and have opportunity to form relationships before they are able to thrive.

Looking forward to sharing with schools in September 😁

Thank you Dr Dan Lake 😄

Thank you so much for sharing!🥰

Every time we escape situations that make us anxious, the cost of that short-term comfort is long-term anxiety.

We are proud to launch our new report on Behaviour and Mental Health in Schools!

Year 6 enjoyed their anxiety workshop with Lucy Rothwell from MHST sefton. They discussed common anxieties when getting ready for high school. They are looking forward to next week's session.

This morning, Year 6 had a great transition session with Lucy from Sefton CAMHS and Sefton MHST @ Alder Hey They thought about practical and hypothetical worries and how they could solve any problems when they go to high school.

The stress bucket is one of my favourite tools to use with both adults and CYP 🪣

It can be helpful to look at the “taps” in your life and to incorporate more of these activities into your week. For me, this is things like going for a walk or reading. 🌞
