A day of diverse thinking spaces, dilemma workshops and reflective spaces across sectors and contexts- ranging from talking about supporting specific families through to policy reviews to illustration planning to creative strategies around the voice of the child & more.

I know! And how lovely it is when brighter skies. Let’s hope for tomorrow too as we have booked a street art tour

A gorgeous day in Belfast. Delicious food including gf dumplings! A fab mooch around. Saw an amazingly powerful important play which really recommend and most importantly great company w the ever gem- @deirdreMclaughlin

I absolutely love peacocks. And was so excited to find this when in Sri Lanka couple of weeks ago. Plus hopefully will protect my voice in training when gently bringing back.

Some more pics capturing the magic of the day! The gorgeous fostering network Northern Ireland. And the wonderful team. Also genius creation with the carrots on the table and the pipe cleaner exercise- 9 carrot ring 😂

Such a gorgeous buzzy electric day w fostering network Northern Ireland. So beautifully organised. Such energy in the room. Highlight of the day for me was a foster carers feedback about the impact one of my books has on him & how he re reads sections of it on an ongoing basis & called it a lifeline

Busy busy busy week socially and work wise. Flying to NI now! Airport strangely quiet. An event tomorrow with the fab NI fostering network- a weekend catching up w some NI friends & doing some work & then im back delivering a week of training for the northern trust.

With the fab Hillingdon virtual school again and we have 90 educational professionals and foster carers focusing on the important often sideline topic of transitions, endings and moving on

So lovely having longer for training. I know doesn’t fit for the more for less Tik tok way:) but a concept I often have to condense into a few mins having the time with this group to go into the layers and textures of it just makes it land so much more. V lucky to have this org invest in this

With a group of nurses today, tomorrow & next month focusing on an intro into relational & developmental trauma and loss. This is part of a series and so lovely to be back with familiar faces & to be doing layered enriching embedding training. & got some amazing feedback about my trauma cards 🎉

Then this afternoon with another health based team focusing on their own emotional immune system and their wellbeing whilst working in emotive and pressurised contexts. And then a training planning meeting with a CAMHS team for a forthcoming 3 day training

Busy day ahead. This morning I am facilitating a workshop for a team undertaking investigations and we are talking about how to make them as relational and supportive as possible.
