Our self-injury support packages offer training, workshops and reflective practice to teams, and we will stay until the individual’s overall wellbeing is measurably improved. Our support engages simultaneously with senior leadership teams and direct-support teams, so that the ethos and understanding of the work is embedded and upheld across the organisation.

Our expectation is that self-injury or other presentations of distress significantly reduce or stop.

Most of our work is with specialist schools and care organisations supporting complex, non-speaking young people and adults.

What does Unique Connections do?

Unique Connections exists to improve the lives of children and adults with learning disabilities and autism who self-injure or are showing signs of distress. We specialise in developing unique support for individuals with whom ordinary behavioural interventions are no longer working.

We apply trauma-informed, relational and emotional-containing principles to develop evidenced-based, unique solutions for each individual.

We also work with organisations to embed trauma-informed care across from the top to the bottom, across organisational culture, value-base and into day-to-day practice.

Bev and Jen chat about their work at Unique Connections

Unique Connections at the table is a space where we host conversations with people who have something to say about how we best serve people with learning disabilities and autism who self-injure or are distressed. Join the conversation here, and subscribe for updates.
