@drewlambo Well done mate! Best of Luck in your new role! 👌

Oasis getting me through yet another qualification!

@Laura_C_Coulton @RTMATmiddle @RTMAThigh Best Feeling in the World 💗

Always convenient having several families living in the same ward! Even better being able to pop to the local maccies for a takeaway coffee in between visits! It’s the little things

4 Mile Run, 5 Minute Meditation, Cold Shower all done and dusted before 08:30am. Good to be back to the grind 💪 When you work a job supporting children and families to improve there situations and holistic lives it’s vital you look after yourself also

Time for a week off to charge the old batteries

Go to Switch off Number 2: Gaming A brilliant way to end the evening after another busy day of supporting families. Always helps to break the ice when working with young people who are into there games!

Who said Team Meetings were boring?

A week that has consisted so far of Family Group Conference, Therapeutic Timeline Work, 2 Hour Parenting Sessions, Trauma Informed Practice and much much more. I am absolutely ruined but the results for the families has been on another level. I love this game.

None Verbal Work with Children and Young people is nothing short of fascinating. Never ceases to amaze me how unique and different every young person (and every human) actually are.

Started Dictating my case notes yesterday after receiving a new laptop. Despite being yonks behind everyone else in discovering this I have genuinely been like a caveman discovering fire. Dear me what a sad little life Jane.

RTMAT Home and Hospital: Such an amazing, supportive environment for young people in respect of mental health and education. Always a pleasure working with the amazing team there and so many outstanding outcomes achieved for young people we have supported in to the provision💗

Every positive outcome you make in this game of working with children and families, even the tiniest little ones make all the hardships and frustrations at times so worth it. There truly is no better feeling knowing you have made a genuine visible difference to a child’s life.

When a 10 year old young person tells you she prefers reading to phones and computer games 🥺 felt like I’d waited years to hear that - there is hope!

Ever so slightly contradictory to my last post but: Make sure to look after yourself also! Burnout and Internalisation of trauma is real and can be detrimental to your dreams, goals and work life balance It’s ok to take a day or more for you to reset.

Busy week at work with new families and new challenges. 4 Mile run, Gym and 20 minute Sauna completed today ☑️ Moral of the Story: If you want something never stop working.

Happy Days Working for @Linx_Youth August 2016 running one of the many summer programmes. There was actually young people on this trip I promise! 2 of the best colleagues ever and the “dream team” Ricky Tomlinson and John Burns

3rd young person in year 6 today I have spoken to in the last week, who has genuine anxiety and worry around SATS. Encourage kids to work as hard as they can and do there best but let kids be kids!
