Close to my hear this one..

Myth: Everyone with cerebal palsy has an intellectual disability.

Fact: CP primarily affects movement, posture, and coordination. While CP may have intellectual disabilities many have average or above average intelligence. πŸ’š

60,000 a month
83 a hour
1.5 People every minute
1 life lost every 40 seconds

September is suicidal prevention month..
Su***de is a deeply complex and painful issue that touches so many people's lives it does not discriminate against age, ethnicity, background, or circumstances. It's a stigma that holds heavy, which makes it even harder for those who are struggling to seek the help they need.

Every life is precious, and each one of us can make a difference.

Over 800,000 people die per year because of su***de.

Every 10 seconds, someone dies by su***de

Men are 4x more likely to die than women.

Su***de is the 10th biggest killer worldwide

Talking about su***de won't make it worse. STAYING SILENT WILL πŸ’š

Before our kids head back to school, let's talk
with them about what it really means to be
kind. Not just "be nice" or "use kind words" -
but the kind of kindness that takes courage

Letting someone else go first.
Including the quiet, reserved kid.
Staying out of the drama,
Saying "hi" to the new student who doesn't
know where to sit.
Speaking up when something feels wrong,
even when it's hard.

School can be overwhelming. There's so
much pressure to fit in, to do well, to belong.
Sure, they will stumble. We all have bad days.
But let us be the ones to remind our kids that
kindness is strength. The kind of strength it
takes to be truly kind, requires practice, and
training. True kindness is not weakness or
softness.
It's leadership
It's bravery
It's choosing to see and value others, even
when you're busy or nervous or unsure.

So, as We get ready for this new school year,
let's prepare their hearts, not just their
backpacks.

Because grades matter, but so does
character. And the world could use more kids
who know how to treat people well. πŸ’š

People raised on love see things differently than those raised on survival.Love fosters trust and vulnerability, while survival cultivates caution and the understanding that one must fight for what they need.
The primary differences lie in their perspectives and emotional expressions; love-based individuals may be more connection-oriented, whereas survival-focused individuals might appear more guarded or hostile, prioritizing self-preservation. However, these are not mutually exclusive traits, as people can possess elements of both, and a mix of both love and survival skills may offer a more balanced approach to life. πŸ’š

Good luck to everyone who is getting their GCSE results. πŸ€
πŸ’š

It's understandable and recognised that GCSE results are a nerve wracking time for teenagers, most people get anxious, and the day can be stressful for some, particularly if you don't do as well as you hoped.

GCSE results are not necessarily a true reflection of what you could have achieved. Exams are a measure of your school work and test performance. They're not a statement about who you're. They do not define you.
Focus on 'can I still go on to my chosen career' and not the numbers you receive,
but look for every opportunity to make the most of what you have got. You always have alternative routes to getting to where you want to regardless of your results.. This comes with hope and persistance.
Cliche, but true that the best way to learn is through mistakes. Success will come! It will happen!
Sometimes, not getting what you set out can also lead to other opportunities you may never have considered.

Feeling sorry for yourself is a natural human response, and that's 'ok' be 'ok' with that, allow this to be a momentary emotion, not a permanent destintion.

Life can sometimes feel unfair, and truefully, this will not be the last time... their will be many opportunities that pass you, and it seems so utterly unfair. However; it's how you handle the situation and how you turn a negative into a positive in every situation.

Stay positive, 2025 class, what ever today may bring, it's going to be 'ok'

Parents and Careers;

How to support your child through their results;

Set aside time to celebrate their achievement and acknowledge the hard work.

If results are not what expected, its important that you show you're not disappointed in them. Parents play a vital part in helping their children pick themselves up and continue upon their journey.

Help them to build confidence by problem solving and showing that you believe in them.

Inner child healing is a therapeutic approach focused on addressing the emotional wounds and unmet needs from childhood that can impact adult well-being. It involves reconnecting with and nurturing the younger, vulnerable part of oneself to promote healing, emotional growth, and healthier relationships. This process often involves understanding how past experiences shape present behaviours and patterns and learning to provide the care and support that were lacking in childhood.

Be gentle they're still healing from what they never deserved πŸ’š
