This is an online workshop in two sessions where we explore the thoughts and feelings of children when placed into a care family and the conflicts that they experience.

We will discuss the connection that children have with their biological family and how to navigate this. The challenges this may cause to the caregiver family atmosphere will be explored, together with the beliefs that the child might bring into the new home and the behaviours that they may display to keep themselves safe.

We will discuss the challenges with biological family contact or no biological family contact and what this means for the child.

The sessions are held on the following dates:

Session 1 21/02/2023 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM
Session 2 23/02/2023 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM

Objective One: To understand how a child may experience conflict between biological family and care family and the beliefs that children might bring into the new home.
Objective Two: To understand the behaviours that children may display related to contact with their biological family.
Objective Three: Exploring how to create a feeling of belonging to support the child and build security.

This workshop will be delivered in two online sessions. Participants are required to attend both sessions to receive a certificate of completion.
