Therapeutic Parenting Approaches for Transition Challenges for Adopted Children<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

This NEW therapeutic parenting programme has been specifically designed to help you navigate your children’s transition challenges. Led by Clinical Psychologists Dr Helen Kirkaldie & Dr Victoria James-Perkins, this 4-week course will take place on Thursdays from the 20th<\/sup> of November to the 11th<\/sup> of December.<\/p>\n

— Learning to use Attachment and Trauma-Informed therapeutic understandings and approaches to practice transitions with your child and prepare for significant transitions on the horizon (e.g. change of school, holiday, moving house).<\/p>\n

— Recognising and responding to maladaptive responses to transitions (e.g. avoidance, anxiety, rage).<\/p>\n
