Understanding one another is the basis of peacebuilding. In this episode we discuss hidden violence on the island or Ireland and the ways that services can fail to address the complex and interconnected challenges facing young people, including support for people with disabilities and survivors of abuse. The discussion takes us towards an innovative idea for addressing the misalignment of support for young people today on the island of Ireland.
