Practical workshop for foster carers | Depression and Anxiety Part 1

Practical workshop for foster carers | 11th August 2015 & 22nd September 2015
Depression and Anxiety  Part 1 and 2

This workshop is based on 5 sessions with a small group of carers, (maximum of 4) who care for children who have a history of complex trauma. The workshop includes carers own values and how relationships affects outcomes for children who have difficulties with attachment.

The training is practical and focuses on the relationship between the carer and the child. We will explore how different diagnoses are impacted on by how a child interacts with us and how we can best provide continuity of care.
