As part of this operation\, COPP (Combined Operations Pilotage Parties) commandos were deployed from submarines to carry out secret reconnaissance missions on enemy shores\, gathering critical geographical information to ensure the mission’s success. \nOne of the most remarkable stories of bravery during this time involved Lt. Brand and Lt. Smith. After their reconnaissance mission in Gela\, Sicily\, they found themselves stranded on enemy territory. With no way of returning by land\, they paddled a staggering 120 km for 37 hours through treacherous\, stormy seas to make their way back to Malta – a feat of determination and courage. \nThis year\, we are commemorating their bravery with the Kayak for Charity event. Led by Dorian Surname and Albert Surname\, this challenging kayak journey retraces their historic path\, crossing the same perilous seas\, in honor of these unsung heroes. \nBut it’s not just about remembering the past – it’s about making a positive impact in the present. The event aims to raise vital funds to support Inspire Malta\, an organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with disabilities and special needs. \nBy joining us\, you can show your support for both the courageous heroes of World War II and the ongoing work of Inspire Malta. Every donation\, every mile\, and every moment spent paddling in support will help make a difference. \nJoin us in this historic tribute and help us honor the legacy of Lt. Brand and Lt. Smith while supporting a great cause. Together\, we can make waves of change!

DESCRIPTION:Behaviours of concern (often referred to as challenging behaviour) represent a serious challenge to the quality of life\, equality\, and inclusion. There are many parallels with other countries\, particularly the UK and the USA\, in that individuals and families are frequently excluded from all forms of participation in their communities and often experience mental health treatments that are inappropriate and often harmful.  \nThey frequently endure severely restricted and traumatic lives\, on occasion sustaining severe injury or worse. This situation applies at home\, at school\, and across a range of health and social care settings. We argue that applying evidence-supported\, trauma-informed and empathic approaches\, that reflect more up-to-date theory\, reduces stress in workers and greatly improves well-being. We have evidence of this\, which will be presented at the event.  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nAgenda\n\n\n\nTime\nRegistration\n\n\n\n9:00 am – 9:15 am\nOpening Keynotes\nMr Antonello Gauci – CEO of Inspire Foundation; Hon.
