Breathing Buddies

Hazel and Vicky work in Primary & Secondary Schools across Glasgow providing emotional regulation support for children and families who struggle with the daily challenges school presents.

Hazel is a former Primary Teacher and Nurture Practitioner and runs Nurture Connections and Vicky is a practicing Speech & Language Therapist working for a charity in the East End of Glasgow and running Calming Minds in schools across the city. Vicky is currently undertaking an MSc in Sensory Integration. Both are passionate about trauma informed practice. The skills and resources you will be introduced to in the Breathing Buddies Program are tried and tested and used daily in our work as well as at home with our caseload and with our own families. We have included many different strategies - with the view that we all respond differently to different techniques and there is no one size fits all. The Breathing Buddies program will allow you to try and test a variety of strategies. It includes downloadable resources and resources for measuring efficacy in your setting
