This week Hannah and Matt are joined by Professor Katriona O’Sullivan, psychologist and author of her memoirs, ‘Poor’ and ‘Hungry’. This conversation took place on the set of Poor (adapted for theatre) at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry with a live audience. Conversations explore Katriona’s lived experience, and key messages for professionals in relation to working with children and their families growing up in poverty, with a focus on the impact that professionals can have on the lives of children (both positively and negatively).
