This is definitely my experience too. You have to understand the context in which the phrase was learnt in order to understand what it means to the person. Like one child I knew who would say ‘good boy’ when he wanted to end an interaction.

💯% this. Mental health/wellbeing exists in, develops in and is maintained or damaged by context. Individual factors may well be a part of the picture, but they are in no way the whole picture.

Dr Abigail Wright/PsychEdMum @psychedmum.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

We know we need to support our own wellbeing, to be able to support others. The ‘me’ must come first in our mental health, but it can’t just be ‘all on the person’. We must develop support that ensures there conditions to nurture and nourish people. 4/4

Dr Abigail Wright/PsychEdMum @psychedmum.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Yet, individuals can often feel as if there is something ‘faulty’ or something ‘wrong’ with them for not feeling or doing things ‘well’ enough. 3/4

Things that happen in our environment are key to making sense of how we think, feel and behave. Yet, individuals can often feel as if there is something ‘faulty’ or something ‘wrong’ with them for not feeling or doing things ‘well’ enough. 2/4

Dr Abigail Wright/PsychEdMum @psychedmum.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Ideas to support ‘mental health’ are often based on the that it is something completely internal and ‘within’ a person only. Yet, the reality is that we don’t exist separately from a context around us and our experiences of that. We can’t separate ourselves from this. They shape things for us. 1/4

💜 It’s not always the complex or specialist stuff that makes the biggest impact. 💜 Sometimes it’s more ‘being’ than doing. 💜 Our mental health and wellbeing is shaped by context. 💜 Think about what soothes nervous systems. 💜 Look for the small steps and glimmers amongst the challenges.

A wonderful morning yesterday with teachers and students on the National MA Education (Wales) as part of the Emotional and Mental Health & Wellbeing Module. I created most slides from my hobby Insta graphics 💜 So proud to share & reflect with such champions of our children and young people 🥇🦸‍♂️

Photograph of a Laptop with cappuccino next to it. with an image of my first slide which has a picture of ‘There is a ‘me’ in mental health, but also a ‘we’ in wellbeing: Supporting ourselves to support others’

If you watch one thing today make sure it's this 2 minute video from children in care explaining the emotions and experiences behind their seemingly 'rude' behaviour. Vital for all school staff. Please share widely. youtu.be/waeRP6jzW_U?... Thanks to Dr Karen Treisman. #edpsychs #sendco

Always alongside, together, in appreciative collaboration. As we have been considering today at #PositiviTEA we are just humans; fallible, imperfect, a bundle of complexities... which is to be embraced 🥰 #EdPsychs

Solutions to the SEND crisis won't be found in isolation

Education's many crises are intertwined and resolving them will require coherence and cohesion

"The child becomes exhausted trying to convince clinicians of their perspective, defending against expertise based on preconceived, erroneous, medicalized, or neuronormative ideas" Excellent paper on experience sensitive approaches to autistic healthcare. Very relevant for education too. #EdPsychs

"A lasting solution would also involve the recognition of something fundamental: that there are things we now know about education and child psychology that cannot be forgotten, and that embedding them in the way government provides education and care is going to need extra money." #edpsychs
