As we enter a period of uncertainty and change in Wales (against a global context that probably feels scary and unprecedented to many) it's more important than ever to remember that a simple act of kindness can change someone's life. Join the movement.

A few days away, and now back with renewed commitment to embrace change and maintain focus on what my teams can do to support evidence based and data led decisions. Change brings opportunity to do more and better.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 !

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 ☀️

Great few days in Lisbon at #EUPHA #EPH24 talking about how we are co-creating an inclusive social movement in Wales to be Trauma and ACE- informed. I love how people are in awe of our commitment to tackle structural inequality through kindness and compassion.
