Would your school like a visit from our Children & Families team? Here's Judy with pupils from @antonineps.bsky.social, helping them learn how to cope with big emotions, using games and videos to explain what happens in the brain when we "flip our lids"! Hope the new coping strategies are helping👍

Emotional support aims to help you establish emotional safety and prepare you for counselling. Understanding your reasons for seeking therapy can help you to feel ready to see a therapist for the first time. Find out more: wellbeingscotland.org/emotional-su... #EmotionalSupport #Counselling
Quote in speech bubble on a blue background: This is giving me hope. Learning about trauma and how it affects the brain has been so helpful in helping me to understand myself. Since my mental health problems started, I've always been told that it's because of my disorder and it's just the way I am. I didn't know that trauma affects every aspect of your life - your thoughts, feelings and reactions - until now."
