Great to finally get the team back together for in-person group supervision today, first time since March 2020. Shame we weren’t all there. Can’t wait to do it again next week. #covidrecovery #BackStronger #WhateverItTakes @MST_Doncaster @CathyAnnJames @DN_Child @MSTProgrammes

Then imagine we expect the children to engage in learning from home. Not to mention the parents who, at times, have to teach them who probably haven’t eaten at all so their children can... We MUST do better. This is 2021

Such vital work for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. #childtrauma #WhateverItTakes @DN_Child @CathyAnnJames
Therapists support children and families to address the needs of children and adolescents with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other difficulties related to traumatic life events.

By understanding the function of the behaviour therapists work with families to identify specific behavioural drivers that are used to develop a specific set of behavioural interventions #AllBehaviourMakesSense #PrincipleOfTheWeek #TargetingSequences

Treatment is intensive and requires continuous effort from all parts of the system. It is all worth it when families are supported to stay together and thrive without statutory intervention #WhateverItTakes #HappyBirthday @DN_Child @_MGFT @CathyAnnJames
