Thank you so much. Please do pass on the photos to the Cabinet Secretary. I think they capture the day perfectly.

Wonderful to be joined by @dawnbowden.bsky.social today for an introduction to the @stresswales.bsky.social Trauma-informed Wales TiPSS training. Thank you Minister for your support for this work, and for children who have experienced trauma and adversity in their lives both in and out of care.

Back from a really interesting knowledge exchange on migrant health organised by WHO Europe. Lots to bring back to the uk ( and managed to see a little bit of Athens)

Sorry to hear this! My sister has also just come a cropper on her other foot. Hope you heal well!

Poignant bookshelf moment....if I took a picture of the whole shelf .....

Just a girl and a vicar
...for anyone who knows him we could add 'and' ad infinitum....let's try humanitarian, inspiration and still someone who can end a conversation and exit like noone else 😂 lovely to bump into a man who strives or peace with every fibre.

Whilst there is capability there is possibility. I still have hope in humanity 🙏

Newbie here was adding alt text then everything crashed. Basically a picture of me outside st pauls cathedral in a colourful flower dress, the order of service front cover and image of the altar. And it shines in a light and sound.

What an emotional day. I have supported Remembering Srebrenica as long as it has existed. In 1999 I did my masters in international relations on media reporting of women's experiences in Srebrenica. It had only just happened. Fast forward. Goodness. What a sobering day

What a beautiful morning....

Happy St David's Day....

Important discussions around the experience of racial trauma in Wales in Cardiff this week. Will be spending this weekend considering the learning and how the work we are doing with ACE Hub Wales and Trauma-informed Wales will support real change together

Lighter evenings mean later walks are also an option when we can't fit it in first thing 🥰

Personas! But building persons is also close 😂 We were developing our thinking about it feels like to be trauma-informed in a range of roles and settings and how we support that.

@stresswales.bsky.social great to be with you today at your conference to talk about how we all work together to understand what a trauma and ACE informed NHS might look like. 45 mins of brilliant discussion about who, what and how we do this building persons and inclusive of all staff.

It's this kind of morning...

Working hard to pay for their U13s tour.....when your little boy is just disappearing in front of your eyes....but transforming into a wonderful, kind young man ❤️

Trauma-informed Wales is about all of us living the ethos we espouse. Important to take time out for relational work and who knew Japanese Knotweedclukd provoke such important discussions! Listening, hearing, co-creating is the key. Finding space to do this. Amongst clinical practice, deadlines..❤️

Wasn't sure what to make of this at first. Ollie thoroughly enjoyed and it certainly provoked a very poignant conversation on the way home

Great to be at the Private Law Pathfinder induction event today to talk about trauma-informed practice in the family justice system. Important work to improve how how we support practitioners, and people experiencing this process.

When the local band play your favourite song unrehearsed. ...very moved and will get my fa la la la s on....

What an inspiring first session at Ty Pawb in Wrexham at our Trauma-informed Wales road map workshop. We discussed how we turn what we know into things that will progress our ambition for a social movement. Thanks everyone. Second session tomorrow !

Blue sky on....well Blue Sky!

We have a local crochet fairy that brings smiles to the village. Happy St Dwynwen's Day !

You too. And I am sorry we didn't have any time to chat really. Let's meet up soon. I have so many ideas 💡 have a restful weekend and I will be in touch. Your contribution, all of you, was amazing x

Great to be part of this, and what an insightful and enjoyable day with really rich and important discussions. Looking forward to where this work goes next!

Great to be at @aberuni.bsky.social for the Pathway to Peace workshop and listening to the Welsh Refugee Council on how to develop trauma-informed storytelling. Brilliant to see the synergy with the Trauma-informed Wales Framework

Really enjoyed co-chairing the trauma-informed Wales implementation steering group this morning where we heard from @dotiau.bsky.social about their wonderful trauma-informed approach through the Lle Llais project on Ynys Mon. Co-created and creative! And here's my pictures from the summer ☀️
