What are you proud of today?

The girl on the right was enjoying a drink 5 years ago today with an old friend in France. Working 14 hours a day for a large corporate business, travelling 120 miles a day every day, I loved that job, and I loved the people I worked with, they taught me a lot, and I hold the greatest of respect for them all.


The girl on the left, well let's be honest.. the older woman on the left, is today, 5 years later, looking back now to the point on that holiday, when I took the decision the girl on the right hadn't felt brave enough to make before then.

That drink in my hand was a promise to myself I would stick to that decision. I would start my own business.

And while it has produced a few more pounds, a few more grey hairs, I made the right decision. I worked and continue to work my little pop socks off. Encouraged by my family and my friends and my colleagues from my old job. I created a business I am very very proud of.

I created a company which is honest, helpful, kind and supportive. A business that supports its local community provides help and advice and encourages others to take the brave step I did. But of course, I didn't do it alone, and I didn't do it without hassle, cock-ups and hard work. And yes I still work silly hours, but I work those hours with purpose.

My purpose, with the vision our team has helped create, as they matched my commitment with their hard work and their determination. I am blessed to have an incredible team to work with.

I am blessed to have wonderful clients that support us and encourage us. And most importantly. I still rock the red hair hankie!

An informative and in-depth workshop looking at how trauma and dissociation present in the classroom. Ways to help these children. For a school to be truly 'trauma-informed' the right training needs to be accessed that goes beyond looking at A.C.Es and how these present and are assessed. A deeper understanding of dissociation and the causes of it are necessary.


About this event:


For a school to be truly 'trauma informed' the right training needs to be accessed that goes beyond looking at A.C.Es and how these present and are assessed. A deeper understanding of dissociation and the causes of it are necessary.

We need to be able to view the child's behaviour within the context of the relationship and as a form of communication.

It is hard to know how to support a child who has been through either sexual, physical or emotional abuse?

Teaching assistants are the bedrock of implementing true trauma informed practice in the classroom. This workshop covers the following

  • Why do children dissociate?

  • How to recognize dissociation in a child ?

  • What type of situation and actions may increase dissociation in an educational setting?

  • How do you provide safety and help regulate the child again?

  • How to deal with 'naughty' behaviour .

  • Why relationships and friendships provide such difficult problems and what teaching staff can do to help?

Helen Harvey is facilitating the talk. Helen is a registered BACP child and Adolescent therapist working in post adoption for Cumbria. Helen is also a member of the International society for the study of Trauma and Dissociation
