Hearts & Minds

An 8 week specialist therapeutic parenting programme for adoptive parents. Designed for all adopters, but particularly for those who are finding things hard or wanting to think about the parenting of their child. The programme focuses on the 8 habits of the thriving adoptive family and provides strategies on how to embed these into daily family life. Currently online.

Transitions from Nursery to Primary School

Here's a workshop to help and support you if your child is moving from a Nursery setting to Primary School in September

Life Story Work

Helping adopted children understand their story can often be a challenge for parents. Life story work takes many forms from books, to later-life letters, memory boxes and longer term therapeutic support and it can be daunting to navigate. We hold regular workshops and consultations on this topic for adoptive parents. Currently online.

Riding the Rollercoaster

A new online workshop for adopters who have been home with their children for about six months to talk about some of the important things they are handling from life story work to contact with birth family and looking after their own emotional wellbeing.

Workshops

One off workshops on a wide range of subjects all designed to reinforce and support your knowledge and resilience as an adoptive parent. Check our Events Calendar for what’s on.
