Re-thinking self-injurious behaviour - family systems, attachment and shared humanity

  • Summary

  • In this episode from our YouTube channel, we talk to Dr Caroline Roberts who brings both compassion and passion to her research with people with learning disabilities who self-injure.

    Dr Roberts' research is focused on interdisciplinary approaches for supporting people with learning disabilities who self-injure, and she brings to her research her own lived experience of being sister to her brother who has intellectual, sensory and developmental disabilities and a long history of self-injury.

    Dr Roberts is a kindred spirit for us, in the way she understands non-speaking individuals as part of the fabric of humanity, with unique contributions, who need to be honoured and respected.

    Dr Roberts is a researcher from the University of Minnesota, working alongside Dr Frank Symons, a renowned researcher in the field of self-injury.
