People with learning disabilities are at increased risk of experiencing trauma, and may express distress as a consequence of trauma in a range of ways, including behaviours perceived by those around them as challenging. For staff working with people with LD, understanding how attachment and relationships support recovery from trauma, and being able to apply this to their everyday working context is vital to ensure good quality, trauma informed support. This webinar was originally delivered in 2022 by Dr Cathy Harding, a consultant clinical psychologist who has worked with people with learning disabilities for 15 years across community, inpatient and supported living services. This webinar is suitable for all staff.
