Made it one week before baby was struck down with flu. So today’s work is coming from my kitchen counter while the snotty baby sleeps in a carrier.

I’ve been quiet on here while I’ve been off with this fluffy egg for 9 months. Back to work next week and while I love my job I’m going to miss all our time together! And I hope I can find two brain cells to rub together… ☕️ 🧠 😴

Feel free to share - our guide is appropriate for mental health professionals working with adults or children (it’s important to remember many children with language problems continue to have communication needs as adults)
Great to see the link between language and mental health considered on the BBC - and amazing of Siouxsie to share her experiences www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
We have video guides for mental health practitioners about language problems and mental health - see below!
We need your help!
We are looking for any professionals who work with adults with Developmental Language Disorder.
Our networks relate to children, so please help get our survey about setting up a UK wide network to those who work with adults with #DevLangDis

Book cover: Coming Of Age: How Adolescence Shapes Us by Lucy Foulkes
I’m so excited to share the new paperback cover for Coming Of Age 🌟
I think it hints at how varied our adolescent experiences can be, and also – maybe this is stretching it a bit – how much adolescents can influence each other. Also SHAPES
Out on 10 July 🤠

This very accurately represents my current mental state of absolute denial that I am a week and a half before the start of my maternity leave with approx 8 million projects to tie up. At least I’ve prepared an egg hunt for toddlers for the weekend.
