Development is a fundamental element of care in the Hope and Healing Framework. It involves attention to young people’s developmental needs relevant to their age, stage and capacity. This can include their needs for physical and emotional development, as well as educational opportunities.

In this episode you will be hearing from two young people Jason and Chantel, as well as Peter and Tony who are very experienced residential care staff members. You will also be hearing from an international expert on trauma and development – Kevin Creeden. We hope that their stories and ideas will bring to life this important element of Hope and Healing.
