DAY Programme Spring 2018 UpDAYte.

Spring has sprung and here at DAY Programme HQ we are enjoying the warm weather.  In February we delivered two DAY Programme training events, in North East Lincolnshire and Sittingbourne, Kent and last week in Oxfordshire. Hello to those of you who are enjoying your first post upDAYte!  The unexpected snow in February left us having to deliver the Kent training in two separate events, but we had a great time.  We have spoken at the Fresh Streams Conference about gender identity, delivered training in Ipswich about pornographies and gender identity and an event in Portsmouth about how to respond to gender inequality. We also recently met with a large local school about  delivering training to teachers and learning mentors about pornographies, child sexual exploitation and gender identity.  It's been a busy few months for us, we hope you find this upDAYte useful for our work and practice.

We're very excited about this new report from the British Psychological Association about "The Power Threat Meaning Framework".  It's a much more holistic way of approaching "mental ill health" and offers some really interesting insights.  It's quite a long document, so you may need to block out some time to read it.  You can find out more about it by CLICKING HERE.
The Director of DAY, Natalie Collins, will be speaking at the launch of The Little Orange Book, an exciting new resource from Jessica Eaton and Claire Paterson-Young. The book is a collection of real poems written by a child who was being sexually abused, with the authors performing thematic analysis and grounding the voice of the child in empirical literature to inform our understanding and to improve the way we support children during and after abuse.  You can book into the launch of the book HERE.
Calm Harm is a resource for those who are struggling with self-harm, it gives ideas for distraction and is a brilliant resources to tell young people (and adults) about.  It is availabale on IOS  and Android.
