. @BaronessHollins talking about what makes us feel 'safe' and how this can shrink, when you don't have control over your own life. Safeguarding, and feeling safe are different. Psychological safety is key to reducing trauma. #TraumaInformed23

'Why do people hurt themselves?..It can be a relief from overwhelming emotions that arise from difficult experiences and are hard to talk about.' Often not discussed enough re CYP with learning disabilities, so Beverley decided to do more research. #TraumaInformed23

Kit talks about 'we can be targeted because we are seen as vulnerable; we believe people have integrity and are good. We are drawn in because ppl appear to know us better than others. Once we escape abusive situation we need the right holistic support.' #TraumaInformed23
