💚 It's National Non-Speaking / Non-Verbal Awareness Day 💚

Today we recognise and celebrate the many children and young people who are non-speaking or non-verbal.

Being non-verbal does not mean having nothing to say, it means finding different ways to communicate. From gestures and facial expressions to AAC devices, sign language, or other tools, every form of communication is valid and powerful.

At Contact, we know how important it is for families to have access to the right support and resources so that every child’s voice can be heard. Today we stand alongside non-speaking children, young people and their families, raising awareness and championing inclusion 💚

Love Needs No Words - Little Resource Page are heading up the awareness campaign!

It is Mental Health Awareness Week, with a focus on Community.
A good reminder while SATS have begun, and GCSEs and A Levels are on the horizon, that mental health is more important than exam results.
Let’s model positive mental health by reflecting about our day, the good bad and ugly, and helping our children and young people to find connection in their communities and social groups.

Sharing this lovely image.

It takes time to bloom and become who you are/will be.

While the Spring is in the air, the sun warming up the earth and the buds starting to awaken, this is a reminder to pause, look around and appreciate how far you have come already.

As much as we need to give ourselves a break when we're having a tough day, children need this even more.

We can act as a positive role model for children by labelling our own emotions, and being honest when we need to take five minutes out.
