Attachment Focused Parenting/Caregiving Courses

Children with experiences of insecure attachments need a different kind of parenting/caregiving. Based on the work of respected children and family practitioners from across the world, we offer three different Attachment Focused Parenting/Caregiving courses for parents/carers of children affected by trauma through adverse childhood experiences. 

  1. Attachment Focused Parenting/Caregiving for adopters, long-term foster carers and kinship carers
  2. Attachment Focused Caregiving for short-term foster carers 
  3. Attachment Focused Re-Parenting for birth parents of children affected by adverse early life experiences

    • Impact of trauma
    • Symptom overlap with neurological conditions (Autism/ADHD etc)

It was so good to interact with other carers, discussing issues we face and having the benefit of wise input from the group leaders. I found the whole course extremely motivating - helping remind me why I do fostering!
