Break

What pets do you have? Tell us in the comments. Break young person Zach's been giving this gorgeous cat, Emmet, lots of love and attention as a volunteer for a local animal sanctuary. We are proud of your hard work and kindness, Zach 💙 We are lucky that Break's children's homes have rabbits and fish, along with a few of the team bringing loving dogs in to visit too!

We're excited to announce three returning GoGoSafari sculpture sponsors: Martins Hi Fi , Wilco Motor Spares, Fast-Fit Tyres & Exhausts and Toilets+ Limited. Thank you for helping to create this huge attraction, and ultimately fundraise to change young lives. Please give them a wave! 👋

We've explained how we use the PACE approach at Break below, but if you would like to learn about this and much more, join us at Break's Trauma and Attachment training in November ▶▶▶ https://loom.ly/MLpTuCs 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄? It's an approach developed by Dan Hughes to support children by focusing on the whole child, not simply the behaviour. At Break, we use it to remind ourselves to communicate the four sections in the way we act, the things we say and the way we think while we care for children at Break. We aim to help young people feel safe and to help us all to regulate, reason and respond, especially when facing the trauma so many young people have sadly been through. #TraumaInformed #PACE #Therapeutic #ChildrensMentalHealth #ChildPsychology #ChildDevelopment

Break the stereotype 📣 “My care experience was lifesaving. My home situation was dire. My mother had schizophrenia; I had a stepfather who was very violent to my mother and to me. I wanted to be in care to get out of that situation." Care experienced Antiques Roadshow expert Ronnie Archer-Morgan shares his story through his love for his antiques in his memoir 'Would It Surprise You to Know?'. Ronnie has had a colourful career, such as DJing at the famous Marquee Club and hairdressing at a top Knightsbridge salon. However, he reportedly spent his lunch breaks scouring local shops and markets for antiques. Many of you will have enjoyed him on TV shows such as Antiques Roadshow. Ronnie is positive about his care in children's homes and foster care. We work hard every day to give young people in and leaving care the love, safety and opportunities to reach the potential we know they have.

A group of Break’s young people join the adventure of The Tall Ships Race tomorrow! Starting in Helsinki, they sail across the Baltic Sea to arrive in Tallinn, Estonia, in a week. Whilst they will be splicing the rope and taking turns on watch, the race is also fantastic at bringing different cultures together and an incredible life lesson in teamwork. Opportunities like this are life-changing, especially for young people whose early lives have rarely been stable. ⚓️ Follow the ships voyage through this link: https://loom.ly/X2SURUQ #TheTallShipsRace #TallShips #YouthWork
