Research Zone Podcast

Hello & Welcome back to series 2 of to the Research Zone podcast! Thanks so much for joining us and for listening in. This is the podcast where we aim to make sense of youth mental health research. Each week, we will talk to a different researcher to learn about their research project, discussing the why, what, where, when and how of their research, and most importantly, how this can benefit us as young people. Today I am joined by Sydney Conroy to chat about play therapy, trauma, and the lack of children's voices in research.  It's a really interesting conversation and I learnt so much about the little known topic of play therapy. If you've found anything talked about today upsetting or triggering, then please reach out for support!
