This project involves a series of workshops to co-design a trauma-informed research framework with the refugee and asylum seeker communities and parents of children with disabilities based in and around London. Through these workshops, the researchers will also co-create accessible and inclusive ways to share the framework with researchers, practitioners, and communities.

Finally, the project will ideate a larger grant proposal for scaling the framework and its applications to interdisciplinary research including research and technology interventions for mental health and wellbeing and assistive technologies for people with disabilities.
