As neurodiversity celebration week has just passed, here is this years focus point, awareness to action! How can we do that? By encouraging our schools, places of work and community to step up! Challenge stereotypes and to create more inclusive spaces for people with autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other neurodivergent conditions.

💜To all mums out there….

Mother’s Day on social media can feel like a flood of happy photos, and celebrations of family. But we know for so many of you that today can be a reminder of loss, longing, or complicated and painful feelings.

There's so many reasons why today can be tough, many more than just what we’ve listed, and we want you to know that if you’re carrying any type of heavy feelings or ache today, you’re absolutely not alone, there are so many others who are feeling the weight of this day in their own ways. We’re always here for you if you need to talk on 116 123.

Definitely- it’s the first important step to getting out of that dark hole. You’re not alone.

Another amazing night tonight we had 24 guys come through our doors.

Something we hear often is that guys are being told to man up or what have you got to worry about. Our aim with the questions is to get guys talking and hopefully they leave feeling better than when they arrived 👌
Thanks as always to Stenhousemuir FC Community Foundation for our rooms.
See you all next Monday 👌

Working with young people, I maybe won’t say it the way the doctor does but working with the whole person and not just one part, or a symptom, means a young person is seen and heard.

I see a person, not a problem, I want to get to know their strengths, not only the difficulties. I want to tune into the way they see the world and what’s important to them.

Then we can do the work.

Emdr supports us in our recovery to face what’s happened to us in a safe and steady pace that is bearable and tolerable for us. It isn’t just about eye movements. It’s about building on our existing resources and adding new ones to cope with the unbearable.
It’s about soothing our nervous system so we don’t feel in danger all of the time. It’s about learning to tune into our body and sensations and comfort ourselves.

Would you want to enter an extremely hostile space every single day? There's no mystery here - schools, for the most part, are in no way suitable for autistic young people, their brains and the way they learn and find comfort. But unlike the business sector, which seems to be taking this seriously a lot of the time, education is lagging behind and the Department for Education is actively ignoring the idea of schools having to seriously adapt themselves to autistic young people.

This is exactly what my new book addresses.
