    Polly Talks eating behaviours with Dr Sarah Snuggs
    Dec 16 2024
    In this episode, Dr. Polly Cowan talks with Dr. Sarah Suggs from Reading University about eating behaviours in care experienced children. Dr. Suggs shares her expertise on how early trauma, disrupted attachments, and experiences in care can deeply influence children’s relationship with food. This episode offers valuable insights into how we can better understand and support these children, particularly at a time when food and family dynamics are so prominent. This conversation is especially important for those who work with vulnerable children, caregivers, and anyone who has experince of past trauma or eating struggles.


    We hope this episode provides some helpful insight into how we can create nurturing, trauma-informed spaces.
