iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Just came across an article I wrote for the @theguardian.com 17 years ago, around the time our book was published. The language may have shifted since then, but the core message still stands: a call for more trauma-informed, person-centred mental health care. Enjoy ☺️

Important study👇Physical and verbal chastisement of children should not be confused with discipline. Discipline is about conveying learning and that has to happen in the context of a safe trusting relationship. t.co/ki8Puu1HOG #MentalHealth #ACEs #ChildhoodAdversity#England #Wales

@stuartmaconie.bsky.social Just finished this. As a Wiganer, the references add something special. Even if you aren’t from Wigan, it’s a must read. Stuart Maconie is a brilliant writer and his storytelling is so engaging and laugh out loud funny. Cheers cocker!

WHY a child refuses to go to school has to be understood. Our recent research showed that in a sample of 8,300 students, almost 40% of students didn’t feel safe at school. Fining a family that’s already struggling isn’t going to address the root cause, just cause more stress. x.com/warren_larki...

This is depressing! What if a student has had a tough time at home, is suffering from mental health issues, experiencing abuse, neglect, or isn't fulfilling potential for other reasons? It’s time we rethink how we respond to challenges in education. www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-war...

Had a great conversation with Piers Cross on his An Evolving Man Podcast. We explored the financial & human costs of #ACEs & the many factors involved in recovery and healing. Piers is doing important work, especially around boarding school syndrome. Full video here: youtube.com/watch?v=LH0cynVpwRg

Just read this moving article about a charity GCMHP doing life changing psychosocial work with traumatised children & their families in Gaza in @theguardian.com It’s easy to emotionally distance yourself from events until reminded by powerful journalism.
