IOW: The Podcast – Ep 3: Trauma-Informed Support

The latest episode of Imagine Our World: The Podcast is now live, featuring a thoughtful and important conversation about trauma-informed support.

In this episode, Jo Henney, Chief Executive of Nugent, is joined by Megan Foster, Registered Manager, and Jacob Giddins, Deputy Manager, from Marydale Lodge. Together, they explore how trauma-informed approaches help staff understand behaviour differently, build trusting relationships, and create the stability children need.

Drawing on their experience of supporting children who have lived through significant adversity, Megan and Jacob share how their team creates environments where young people feel safe, respected and understood. The discussion highlights the importance of consistency, empathy and recognising lived experience in shaping meaningful support.

This episode offers valuable insight into the compassionate, relationship-based approach that underpins support at Marydale Lodge and across Nugent’s services.
