This stopped me in my tracks today and knocked the wind out of me. It’s heartbreaking. A criminal disregard for this young woman and her child. A hard, but necessary read for anyone part of any system that claims to care. We ARE the system and we can and must change it.

A traumatised young woman gives birth alone in a prison cell. The baby dies. She cuddles the baby all night, alone, blood on the floor. HOW? How can we possibly make sense of such horror? A THREAD.

Care experienced young people don’t always have strong and stable families. Yet the Govt defends paying Under 25s less Universal Credit on the assumption they will be ‘living in someone else’s household’. How can this be fair? 👇 dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/… #EndTheYoungParentPenalty

All of us hold assumptions about the world to help us navigate daily life. This image demonstrates how, post trauma, our assumptions shift. But it also shows how, if your early life has been impacted by trauma, you may never have felt in control, safe or able to trust. #trauma
