This course is for foster carers, kinship carers and adopters. People attend this course for different reasons. Some people may be approaching a transition, others may be working alongside a By Your Side practitioner, others may be parenting a child who has had a difficult transition and want to know more about how it might have affected them. We will focus on approaches that can be used for any transition.
