More participants are needed!

This research project looks at how professionals with ADHD reflect on their early career development and what factors support their career journey and wellbeing. It aims to understand what support can be made available to ADHDers during this time, and what career knowledge and skills are prioritised in this career stage. Through understanding this, the researchers aim to design an intervention that can be used to resource ADHDers and promote career engagement and sustainability through this period of transition.

Sugar & Sloth So true for many of our learners 🫨

18/03/2025

Missing The Mark some food for thought 💭

I worked hard to remove those names from childhood.
In fact I became too good.
Being what I could be for everyone else.
Seeking acceptance through putting the needs of others first.
So when things went awry, I was lost, at sea.
And then the judgments came.
It must be my fault..

Join me tomorrow at midday when I will be hosting Finding Myself about how I began to explore my own self when it felt very lost.
How this exploration led to better understanding myself as a mother and parent.
And how despite difficult times this can be an important way to finding connection and ultimately more authentic relationships.

See you tomorrow.x

Eating disorders and disordered eating are problems faced by so many within the SEND community.

Here's a little more information on what you see in our infographic:

💛Anorexia Nervosa💛
Anorexia can cause individuals to limit how much they eat or drink.

💛Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)💛
A condition characterised by the person avoiding certain foods or types of food, having restricted intake in terms of overall amount eaten, or both.

💛Binge Eating Disorder (BED)💛
BED is when people eat very large quantities of food without feeling like they’re in control of what they’re doing.

💛Bulimia Nervosa💛
Bulimia is when someone is caught in a cycle of eating large quantities of food, and then trying to compensate for that overeating by vomiting, taking laxatives or diuretics, fasting, or exercising excessively.

💛Orthorexia💛
An unhealthy obsession with eating “pure” food. It is not currently recognised in a clinical setting as a separate eating disorder, although the term may be brought up when discussing someone’s illness.

💛Other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED)💛
Sometimes a person’s symptoms don’t exactly fit the expected symptoms for any of these eating disorders, so they might be diagnosed with OSFED.

💛Pica💛
This is when someone eats non-food substances that have no nutritional value, such as paper, soap, paint, chalk, or ice.

💛Rumination Disorder💛
This involves repetitive, habitual bringing up of food that might be partly digested.

💛T1DE💛
Type 1 Diabetes and disordered eating is an eating disorder in people with type 1 diabetes.

We will be exploring this in more detail in an upcoming webinar with Dr Rachel Mosley. If you'd like to learn more, please do join us...
