Trauma and learning disabilities #5 Feeling safe and being safe

In this conversation, Bev and Jen focus on safety – one of the core principles of trauma-informed care.

They start with some thoughts about how quickly psychological safety can get shaken, and then drill down into the role of relationships in creating safe, supportive environments particular in setting supporting people with severe learning disabilities.

They also touch on the complexities of dependency versus attachment in care settings and the need to value relationships over mere resources in caregiving.
