You don’t need to be a therapist - but you can be part of a therapeutic web of relationships in the child’s life. We shouldn’t underestimate the power of being someone who is accepting, empathetic, patient, kind, reliable, calm, curious, and fun. – at Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

The right education can light a fire in the mind that cannot be put out. It can transform lives & make the impossible possible.
I heard the inspirational story of @G_Armstrong21 yesterday. It took one person to believe in him to ignite that fire. Teachers, be that one person.

Nurture groups focus on supporting pupils to form attachments to loving and caring adults at #school. This unconditional positive regard is the most powerful mechanism for change and it can help to improve children's mental health and #wellbeing. ✨
