Who we are
We're a small team. Lived experience, qualified teaching, trauma-informed practice. The people who built Regul8 are the people who deliver it.
Benjamin Rhodes
Lived Experience Director & Programme Lead
Ben spent nine years in foster care across 39 placements. Now a father of four. Lead facilitator on every Regul8 programme.
He serves on two fostering panels and is a member of the Leicestershire police LIAG. He uses the regulation tools he teaches every day — the breathwork, the biofeedback devices, the cold exposure, the structured routines. You can't ask a young person to do something you won't do yourself.
One of Ben's foster carers once told him he'd end up in prison. He didn't. But he understands exactly why the statistics are what they are — and that understanding sits at the heart of everything Regul8 does.
