🌿 Father’s Day Reflections Through a Trauma-Informed Lens 🌿

Today, as many celebrate Father’s Day, I’m reminded of the complex emotions this day can stir for the young people I support through trauma-informed coaching.

For some, this day brings connection, warmth, and memories.
For others, it may highlight absence, loss, separation, or even conflicted emotions — feelings that don’t always fit neatly into a card or celebration.

In coaching, we help children and young people explore and name what they feel — without pressure to make it “positive.”
We offer a safe space to recognise their unique stories, build emotional literacy, and develop strategies to feel heard, regulated, and resilient, especially on days that amplify big feelings.

💬 If you’re working with young people today, take a moment to hold space for the full range of experiences around Father’s Day — and all the feelings it may bring.
