In the final episode in this series, Bev and Jen discuss the complexities of implementing trauma-informed practices in settings supporting people with severe learning disabilities.

They draw on their own experiences to break down the challenges, and why 'off-the-peg' trauma-informed models can fall short when it comes to non-speaking individuals. They go on to discuss what sorts of engagements and tools they utilise to build spaces that help those with little or no spoken communication feel seen, heard and safe-enough to begin to process their experiences and overwhelming emotions.

This final conversation draws to a close this series focused on the challenges and possibilities for creating spaces that allow those with severe learning disabilities to heal from traumatic experiences.
