Heather Lucas SEMH Support @heatherlucas.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Just collected this wonderful book. It doesn’t shy from the difficulties of losing a loved one but might really support children in your care if used with additional sensitive support. ❤️🩹 030

I mentioned the march on Sunday. She had heard nothing about it all. 101

Heather Lucas SEMH Support @heatherlucas.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Please do not show this in schools! Unless you have had a genuinely reflective planning meeting about how and why it fits into your already supportive culture and if you don’t really have one of those, then that’s why not to. 041

Heather Lucas SEMH Support @heatherlucas.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Important to follow up on this. It also why compliance and punitive behaviour models can create dangerously uncritical yp and adults who are then more easily groomed (in more ways than conspiracies). Thank you Mark. 101
Heather Lucas SEMH Support @heatherlucas.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Had the best day facilitating an InSet day on embedding SEMH into whole school culture. Huge thanks to @rachtomlinson.bsky.social for generously sharing her experiences via video link. She’s about 16 years ahead of us today 😃 230

Heather Lucas SEMH Support @heatherlucas.bsky.social · 12/02/2025OK controversial post coming up: let’s focus less on SEND and wrap around care and more on broadening out what schools can nurture as the norm and creating conditions where parents can afford to work less and children don’t have such long days to endure. 000

This recent article by the TES shows has vastly the number of suspensions in PRIMARY schools has increased because of RACISM.

Heather Lucas SEMH Support @heatherlucas.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Yes!The demands within the week must introduce space for attunement. And that’s not just for recognised SEND but many others including staff. Authenticity & congruence are replaced with masking & automatic detached compliance when demands don’t attune to natural human variations in need & capacity. 020
Heather Lucas SEMH Support @heatherlucas.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Fab trip to London today to share a focus on Co-Regulation.

Reposted by Heather Lucas SEMH SupportEliza Fricker (Missing the Mark) @elizafricker.bsky.social · 13/01/2025We can't learn to regulate when you don't feel safe. You can't teach resilience when you've learnt to hide how you actually feel. We do know this is not okay for us. But you keep telling us it is fine. Yes we can do lots of stuff. Yes we are bright and able. 174

Heather Lucas SEMH Support @heatherlucas.bsky.social · 21/12/20241/2Setting your Direction of Travel is the 1st step. Make it a solid one. The journey may seem overwhelming but pragmatism(both macro µ)can help build the strengths and opportunities for resilience. My map is the anchor. The nuance will be unique to your school’s strengths & opportunities. 100
