Improving Support In The Workplace

By
Minister for Mental Health, Maureen Watt, has launched a new training resource to help meet the needs of people affected by trauma and abuse.



The National Knowledge and Skills framework for trauma is designed to support people working in the public and third sectors in Scotland to support those affected by trauma, their families, carers and supporters.

Ms Watt, said; "Trauma is a public health issue and how we deal with it and respond to those affected is everyone's business. We all have a part to plat. Therefore I'm delighted to highlight out commitment to improving outcomes for people affected by trauma.

"Scotland is at the forefront of this work internationally. This is an ambitious and transformative approach, which is about building capability and capacity across all sectors to recognize and respond better to the needs of people affected by trauma and abuse."

The training framework will be delivered by NHS Education for Scotland at the request of the Scottish Government's Survivor Support Team.


 Chief Executive of NHS Education for Scotland, Caroline Lamb, said; "Everyone has a role to play in improving outcomes for those affected by trauma and abuse. NES are delighted to have led on this work which is relevant to all staff.

"Trauma has ramifications beyond health, across education and justice for instance. We have an opportunity to continue Scotland's lead in creating unique solutions to the range of individual challenges faced by people affected by trauma.

"The Framework will help staff realise how common traumatic events are and their potential lifelong effects, help them encourage natural resilience among individuals and create integrated pathways to specialist services for those with complex or long-term needs."

The art of the commute.

By
The commute is a relatively common experience for members of the British public. It is an art form of tired worn people, dancing amongst each other and fighting for seats. The commute is where you will most likely catch every cold of the season. It is where you'll grow extremely well at balancing sue to endless hour's forced into standing due to the seemingly endless shortage of seating. But the worst thing many would say about their daily commute is the boredom. Without a friend of 'travel buddy' on is isolated on the commute. A battle between courtesy and the ability to complete ignore those around you.  It is this boredom that drains many people on their commute, the inability to do anything slowly sucking ones soul away. The art to the commute is to find a way to fight of this boredom. To read is one of the best and most widely adopted method to escape boredoms clutches, however when forced to standing, reading becomes less of a liable option. Another way to d...

Red Nose Day

By
Red nose day is fast approaching, with brilliantly entertaining shows all ready hitting our screens to raise money for the event, including the so far fantastic and hilarious Bake-Off for Red nose day, which has yet to disappoint. As with every year the red noses are out on the streets, however unlike previous years this time there are a total of nine noses to collect, including a possible golden prize winning nose, and also unlike last year and to some people great irritation the noses are bagged, making it a complete gamble as to which one you'll get and making it even harder to collect them all. As of last year the Red Nose day group have released a selection for other exciting red nose day products, including, my personal favorite, a red nose day teapot! However do not get too excited, although most of this years Red Nose day products are available for purchase from the red nose website, others have been distributed to particular stores and are only available from the...

Driving Lessons

By
If you are anything like me you will have put learning to drive off until you absolutely had too. There where a number of things which prevented me from getting behind the wheel, and, unlike most the cost wasn't the biggest thing. No, my biggest worry about driving was my personal disbelief that I, only of eight stone and five feet one inch, could possibly, ever, make something as big as a car move. Every time my mind climbed over the wall that stopped me from thinking I could move the car I was assaulted by fears of endless stalling, the possibility of turning the car directly into a ditch, veering into a car that was overtaking for I failed to remember where the break was, and the ultimate worry that I would turn an inicent by-stander into a pancake. My first ever driving lesson was just before last Christmas. My mother arranged it, refusing to accept my refusals to do it. Thankfully she did arrange it for a tutor from her area and for when I would be visiting for the holid...
