About This Podcast

Welcome to our new podcast series from the Challenging Behaviour Foundation, for all parents, carers and professionals who support people with severe learning disabilities. At CBF we know first hand how isolating and exhausting supporting someone with complex needs can be. In this series of podcasts we hope to offer support, advice and encouragement to help navigate the pressures of caring and , most importantly we’ll be speaking to other carers and families about how they manage everyday, and we hope hearing their stories will give you a little boost

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
