Foster Care: Trauma and Abuse Workshops

Fostering a child is not like caring for your own child. Most children in care have experienced abuse and / or neglect and live with the trauma of that experience. Foster carers therefore need a good understanding of trauma and abuse, so they can manage and respond appropriately to the resulting behaviour.

Our relevant training workshops are:

• Introduction to attachment
• Separation and loss
• Managing placement breakdowns
• Managing stress
• Signs and symptoms of physical and sexual abuse
