19.01.2022 This week is homelessness week. You can see on the link below how many homelessness people are in our areas and also the need for more social housing. Please join the call to build more social housing.

19.01.2022 Another brilliant trauma-informed resource from Sesame Street! This one features Elmo explaining what his safe place is and how and why he uses it to help regul...ate himself and feel safe. "Our brains respond to danger and stress by going into fight, flight, or freeze mode. Chronic adversity means we stay in that mode even when the threat is gone. Being in a constant state of hypervigilanceof tightness and anxietyblocks us from the more helpful resources our brains can offer. When children feel a sense of safety, their brains begin to calm. Then they can start exploring strategies and solutions that can bring them a little relief or shelter from the storm of sadness, anxiety, anger, fear, or confusion. Traumatic experiences can shake ones foundation and leave one feeling unsteady and vulnerable. Strategies such as creating a real or imagined safe place make a big difference." Instructions: First, explain that Elmo was feeling scared and sad and needed a safe, cozy place. Together, watch I Can Feel Safein which Elmo has built his very own blanket fortall the way through. Talk about what kind of safe places kids might create for themselves.
