We're hosting a full-day event at the Crieff Hydro that explores the critical role of language in communication.

🗓️ Date: Thursday 11 September 2025, 9:30am - 4pm

This session will be facilitated by Dr. Karen Treisman, internationally renowned clinical psychologist, ...author, and trauma specialist.

This event is open to professionals from social work, residential care, education, fostering, psychological services, and other trauma-informed settings.

We will explore how language influences perceptions, interactions, and outcomes — from everyday conversations to formal reports and interventions.

Key themes include:
✔️ The impact of person-first and externalising language.
✔️ Addressing bias and assumptions in communication.
✔️ The role of language in trauma-informed practice.
✔️ Aligning language with the values of The Promise.

Grounded in the belief that “every interaction can be an intervention” (Treisman, 2017), this event will offer practical strategies for using language intentionally, with care and sensitivity.

This session supports the continued professional development of those committed to improving the lives of care-experienced children and young people in Scotland.

Last week, a group of our young people and staff had the incredible opportunity to visit Lost Shore Surf Resort in Edinburgh – and for many, it was their first time ever stepping onto a surfboard. 🏄

A huge thank you to the wonderful team at Lost Shore for their support, ...encouragement, and expert instruction!

It was great to watch everyone cheer each other on, face their fears, and walk away with not only new skills, but a real sense of achievement.

It’s moments like these that remind us just how powerful shared experiences can be. 💪

Today is a very special day as we had the honour of celebrating Rachel’s 10 year cancer-free anniversary! 💛🎉

Watching her grow into the amazing person she is today has been nothing short of incredible. A whole decade of strength, positivity, and so much life ahead. We’re beyond ...grateful to be part of her journey.

Here’s to Rachel and to many more years of health and happiness! 💕
