## Resource

We’re delighted to be sharing an episode from our friends at The Skies We’re Under. A podcast that explores the realities of parenting disabled children with honesty, warmth and compassion. In this episode, hosts Lucy and Rachel are joined by researcher Dr Ana Aiello to talk about systems-generated trauma —the ways that healthcare, education and social care systems can unintentionally create additional trauma for parents and carers through their policies, processes and responses. Together they explore: Why parents can so often feel blamed rather than supported. How systems can unintentionally add to the emotional load families already carry. The impact of institutional parent blame, including conversations around Fabricated or Induced Illness (FII). Why trauma-informed practice also needs to include the systems and organisations families rely on. It’s a thoughtful, eye-opening conversation that shines a light on an issue many parents and professionals will recognise, even if they’ve never had the words to describe it. If this episode resonates with you, we’d encourage you to check out The Skies We’re Under for more honest conversations about parenting, disability and navigating complex systems. Thank you to the team at The Skies We’re Under for allowing us to share this important conversation with our community.
