Attachment-focused Caregiving Course: Adopters, Foster Carers and Kinship Carers – Zoom

The course has attachment theory underpinning all topics. It is set up for families living in Berkshire or parents/carers of Berkshire children. There are limited spaces for non-Berkshire families.

**Please read the event description for details of eligibility to attend and how the event will run. You must answer the questions on the booking form for your booking to be accepted. This is so we can provide required anonymised data to the funder.**

The usual cost of this course is £250 per person. Thanks to funding from The National Lottery Community Fund we are able to offer it at the massively reduced price of £50 per person. An additional family member may attend for free with a paying attendee, when accessing the event from the same device.

The course runs on Thursday mornings between 10am and 12pm on the following dates: 10th, 17th and 24th October, break for Half Term, 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th November.

  • Understanding & managing behaviour
  • Life story work and answering difficult questions
