Memory of one of the borough’s best known and much loved sons to live on<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n “It\u2019s a vital shift that supports both children and the professionals around them.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Emily fits the coaching in between her work as a full-time teacher.\n<\/p>\n
\n She added: “I mainly end up doing it on evenings, weekends, and the school holidays.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I end up spending a lot of time on it.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I love it, people say, ‘how can I find the time to do it on top of everything in life.\n<\/p>\n
\n “But, if I know I’m\u00a0helping other people, then that\u2019s a bonus for me.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Emily has partnered with The Mental Wellbeing Company, and delivers CPD accredited workshops to businesses, organisations and charities about how to deliver trauma informed practice, Mental Health First Aid and the Physiology of Domestic Abuse.\n<\/p>\n
\n The roles Emily can find herself in range from supporting school teams, running\u00a0parent workshops, or working one-to-one\u00a0with someone who has experienced trauma.\n<\/p>\n
\n She added:\u00a0“It’s all about trying to help people\u00a0to understand what happens in the body, trauma isn’t an event that\u2019s happened to you.It’s\u00a0how your\u00a0body reacts to something that is happening or has happened.\u00a0Feeling okay doesn\u2019t mean trauma hasn\u2019t left its mark on your brain.\n<\/p>\n
\n “You\u00a0could be absolutely fine, but trauma may still have affected your brain.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Emily, who had been suffering trauma, added: “I stumbled across doing this as I was looking to heal\u00a0and I wanted to provide support for others going through similar things.”\n<\/p>\n
