Many people with severe and profound intellectual disabilities are living with the effects of trauma, and this can have devastating effects on their emotional and physical health, learning and development. This course is for family members, education, health and social care professionals and therapists and will sensitively and compassionately examine why this population are at such high risk of suffering from trauma and what we can best do to support healing.
