Dr Dan O'Hare

This was a fun episode! So many aspects of Matt's work with school will interest EPs or anyone who's interested in raising outcomes for children from deprived backgrounds

Such a good and timely piece. We’ve all got to come together as citizens, activists, educational & health professionals, psychologists and far beyond. We are in an emergency. @zero-hour.bsky.social @bpsofficial.bsky.social

Educational psychology within the polycrisis | BPS Dr Dan O’Hare and Dr Louise Edgington call for commitment and action.

We're in a polycrisis that threatens the conditions that sustain human life and wellbeing.

We must decide, as educational psychologists, not IF, but HOW we will adapt.

Silence is no longer tenable and incrementalism is not sufficient

Hearing from Jerry from 'No More Exclusions' has been fantastic.

Creating schools that heal not harm - absolutely.

Fantastic session from @lucaonions.bsky.social at the @eps4change.bsky.social Community Learning Day, exploring the school experiences of gender diverse and autistic young people.

Key message: "I just wanna live bro!"

Privilege to be invited, involved and to support this great day

I made the decision to leave Twitter ages ago because of the place it was becoming.

Given that the platform is pumping out child sexual abuse material I cannot fathom any kind of justification for professional orgs to remain there and support it!

Hey #edpsychs

Eek! My first podcast appearance 👀 I strongly believe that #edpsychs deserve to enjoy their work.

We spoke about ways to support EPs who may be feeling disillusioned, disconnected and/or isolated.

Really hoping this sprinkles a little positivity and hope for any EPs feeling glum out there 🚀 💖 ✨

If you've got a mo I'd love your views.

We're thinking of developing a membership offer for @edpsy.bsky.social - everything we already offer free would stay that way to everyone - this would be 'edpsy extras'

Is this something you'd be keen for, and if so what would you wanna see?
