To what extent do UK EPs consider nutrition and the impact of this on learning and well-being in their work?
This is one of the questions trainee EP Gwen is asking through her doctoral research.

This is so unworkable and so unaccepting of basic dignity that it's ludicrous.
It's not "trans people" potentially barred from services based on appearance - it's *anyone*
I'd put money on cis women being most affected by this.
Trans-hate scrambles the brain.

Excited (and nervous!) to be joining Holy Cross academies, in Coventry, for their mission day focusing on how we protect our planet for future generations.
Children and young people tell us loudly that this matters to them - great to be thinking today with over 400 teachers!

It was lovely to meet you! Great to think about future edpsy x AEP collaborations and connections too 🤩

Very excited to be speaking at the EPMC community learning day on 9th January.
I've often held off talking about my personal experiences in a professional context, but the state of the system makes it more urgent.
"What does the welfare system take from families"
See you there #edpsychs
Really pleased to announce our first set of speakers, with more exciting announcements to come.
It’s guaranteed to be a great day, accessible to all.
I look forward to seeing you there!☺️

So - what can ice hockey teach us about resilience?
In this episode we waffle about share endeavours, cultural and joyful curricula, Neo-liberal views about resilience, halloween and singing at the cinema 😆

Hey you!
Are you on your lunch break?
Do you have a spare 5 minutes?
Do you work in education?
Are you concerned that, despite all the good talking we do about good things, everything keeps getting worse?
Then give my new blog post on edpsy a read!

🌟New blog post
Does consultation leave EPs ready to meet the challenges we face in 2025? From rampant inequality and austerity to exclusionary politics.
How do we ensure our practice isn't just all talk?
Sean considers this and more in this excellent read: edpsy.org.uk/blog/2025/al...

Thrilled to announce our first speaker for PositiviTEA Well-being Wonders 2026: Dr Ahmar Ferguson
@drfergy.bsky.social will be sharing ideas on how to contract and facilitate supervision for school staff well-being ✨
#edpsychs @maxpurpose.bsky.social @positivitea-eps.bsky.social
@edpsydan.bsky.social and I laugh about ice hockey, shared endeavours, cultural curricula, neo-liberal views of resilience, and singing at the cinema.
Honestly, recording a podcast shouldn't be this much fun.
Having had a sneak peek of the programme...this event will be uplifting and informative.
We're proud to be sponsoring this event and we'll be sharing more about it across our channels.
We'll also have some tickets up for grabs too - watch this space!
