Welcome to the podcast, and thanks for joining Peter Jakob, Kerry Shoesmith & Mary-Jo Land.

In this episode, we’re taking some time to talk about something that often sits beneath the surface in NVR, the experience of loss and grief. Whether you're a parent, carer, or professional supporting children and young people through difficult times, the journey can bring with it deep feelings of mourning for what was hoped for or expected.

We’ll be exploring how grief shows up in the NVR process, not just for parents and carers, but for professionals too and how naming and acknowledging those losses can actually become part of the resistance itself.
