1/8 š§ #TraumaAwarenessš§ : #Trauma impacts us in complex, multifaceted ways. Advancements in neuroscience tell us it's not just an emotional experience, but a deeply physiological one. Let's talk about why we need to acknowledge this, even within religious contexts. #evangelicals
2/8 Understanding #trauma means understanding the brain. Neuroplasticity shows our experiences, including trauma, literally reshape our brains. It's not 'all in your head,' it's 'also in your brain.' This isn't a matter of faith or opinion, it's established science. #evangelicals
3/8 Dismissing the physiological reality of #trauma undermines the survivor's experience. It can lead to victim blaming, encouraging sufferers to 'pray it away', 'have more faith', 'self control'. This not only fails to address the problem but can compound the pain. #evangelicals

In an amazing breakout 'Making good trouble - shifting the dial on mental health' chaired by @Marsha_MHAdvMcr at #KFAnnual2022 - talking labels, young carers, supporting first gen migrants and more.
A panel full of people with lived and living experiences of mental health, making change and supporting others to access support - particularly addressing the intersections between racism and mental health #KFAnnual2022
Really important (but still under-recognised) point from one panellist - just because you're from the same group, doesn't mean you have the same experience. Need to not make assumptions and always listen to individuals #KFAnnual2022
My son's teacher just sent out an email including this statement: "I want you all to know that it is not only my job, but in my nature to protect your children while they are in my care and to make sure that each and every one of them feels loved and safe while at school" 1/
I'm wondering if in that statement she is implying that she would put her life on the line for our kids. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but that's the sense I'm getting. Now I can't stop crying.Instead of teaching she needs to think about sacrificing her life for my child 2/
How are teachers supposed to teach? How are children supposed to learn? Our brains are unable to think critically when in fight/flight/freeze. Kids don't learn when they're in survival mode. Teachers can't process information when they're constantly on high alert 3/
Setbacks happen to all of us. And things can get better. (A š§µ)

Together we collaboratively explored a critical topic in front of a virtual audience of hundreds of researchers and research leaders. As someone passionate about the need for all of us to embrace trauma-informed approaches, this was a highlight of my career.

#MemberMention! @VMunro_Law is Prof of Law at @warwickuni [& a fiercely proud Glaswegian, mum of 2, & an equal-measure fan of cake & cardio]! Sheās been researching & publishing on feminist legal theory in general & law/policy responses to VAW in particular for over 2 decades!
Much of @VMunro_Law's work has looked at decision-making in sexual offence cases & focuses mostly on criminal justice contexts, though also explores responses to claims of sexual violence in family, asylum, & university discipline contexts. warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/law/peā¦

1/ Yesterday was my last day working in the #NHS. I loved my job and my team but we need to stop normalising working for stat services being a lifestyle choice and not just a job. We deserve a life outside of work too. (a thread)
2/ The NHS recruits the best people. Passionate people who care about others. With the best values. And they give their heart, their soul and their life to their work because of that. They will do what it takes to keep their NHS and the people they support afloat.
3/ this year I learnt it doesn't matter. It will never be enough. They will see you suffer, pat you on the back (or give you a clap) and tell you to crack on. It doesn't matter how resilient you are (though they'll make you think it does), how much you care or how hard you work

As a community collective, one of our core concerns is whether the review will provide #TraumaInformed support & care to those who engage with the review itself, during & after - and how we foster community connections and support. @ReclaimCare

Reflecting on my hospital day procedure, through a #traumainformed lens.
Yesterday I had a #gastroscopy with full sedation.
Iām also a survivor of child abuse & years of coercive psychiatric treatment, so it was a scary prospect.

Leading up to the procedure, I was scared that somehow Iād end up with an unwanted psych consult. What if I cry too much or they just make assumptions based on my history?
This was a big fear. I almost cancelled. Thankfully, it didnāt happen.

One thing I forgot to consider was that the last time Iād been in hospital was when my Dad died, about 8w ago in January.
The second I walked into the hospital I realised, and the tears started flooding.
I didnāt plan for grief or thinking about death, but I should have.

A school contacted me asking me to provide trauma informed trainings to their educators. I reviewed the content I planned to discuss, much of which also addresses racism and disparities in education. They indicated they were "not interested in racism stuff." #traumainforned 1/
My answer: then you are not looking to become more trauma informed. You CANNOT address trauma in schools without addressing the trauma caused by systemic, structural, and individual racism. Do not ask me to teach you something you aren't ready to learn. Absolutely not 2/
As long as Black & Latino students are expelled at 3x the rate of white students for the same behaviors, I will address racism in education. As long as Black & Latino students are not recognized for their excellence, I will address racism. Needless to say, I wasn't hired š¤·š¾āāļø 3/

As a physician, can say this about doctor culture in the U.S.: we are a socially stunted puerile bunch easily manipulated by sales & marketing ppl or by metrics of competition, obsessed with status, prestige, ego..

Keep in mind these kinds of ethical violations (& more) were what Andrew Wakefield had been allowed to get away with resulting in two decades of vaccine refusal & disease outbreaks. Yes, @VascularSVS, the is the right thing to do - accessing a database w/out permission is not ok
When people talk of "privilege" it is exactly this. Who bypasses ethical standards typically enforced by an IRB (I am a former IRB chair, as is @DrvanTilburg). There were med students & trainees on the paper being taught/incentivized (named on publication) this. #AcademicTwitter
This is much, much bigger than one paper. This is cultural. The journal has acknowledged and taken definitive action very matter of factly. Why do I make over 100 revisions and other get a pass? Why disparity in #MedEd #education publications? #MedTwitter
Where are the human stories that we'll all bring to the classroom?

I've been defining pedagogy as "our teaching choices," all of which are operate in a context. Too many of the fall plans ignore that context.

I am seeing a resurgence of interest in educators calling on other educators to stop pushing kids out of class, to do deep reflective work on their own implicit bias, and to implement restorative practice approache to discipline. #ClearTheAir Thread/
While I deeply appreciate the challenges educators are posing to one another, and also agree, that we as educators must call on our peers to do deep reflective work about our own internalized bias and the ways we view student āmisbehaviorā,
this moment calls on us to approach school safety within a larger context. In short, we need a Yes/And solution to safety, discipline and racial justice in our schools.
The impacts of current traumas on the work of teaching and learning, which is the work of #highered, will be massive. Massive. I really can't emphasize this enough.
Hey #highered: talking to a reporter today about the impact of trauma on our work. What do we want her to know? What are the most pressing issues? I have some thoughts (shocker), but I'd love to know what's on your minds too.
#traumaware
#traumainformed

#traumainformed
I'll add that what I most want #highered to know is that trauma is not the sole responsibility of the counseling team. Trauma dramatically impacts both teaching and learning. It is also a pedagogical issue. It's a human issue. It is our shared responsibility across campus.
