Advanced Foster Care Training - Managing Complex Behaviour

Diagrama Foundation is a charity supporting vulnerable children and adults at risk of social exclusion. We help transform lives through our adoption, fostering and residential services by taking a holistic approach and having a focus on the core values of being non-judgmental, providing care and empathy. We believe that in order to offer an outstanding service, the needs of the individual must lie at the heart of everything we do.

The Diagrama Foundation is running a new pilot course to provide specialised training for foster carers. 
Fully funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, the course aims to reduce the number of placement breakdowns – by upskilling foster carers to manage some of the complex challenges they may face.
The six-week course will run during school-friendly hours, from 10am -2pm (registration from 9.30am) on March 4/5/11/18/25 and April 1.
It will cover a variety of topics including:
<UL>
<LI>The impact of being in care</LI>
<LI>Identity and transitions</LI>
<LI>Expectations of behaviours</LI>
<LI>Trauma impact (pre-birth and early childhood)</LI>
<LI>Brain development</LI>
<LI>Attachment and secure base</LI>
<LI>Parenting traumatised children</LI>
<LI>Non violent resistance therapy</LI>
</UL>
Subject experts speakers will include NVR Practitioner Sarah Fisher (sarahpfisher.com) and psychotherapist Julia Mikardo. Further speakers to be confirmed.
This course is open to registered foster carers and is limited to five places per agency, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If your agency would like additional places, please get in touch. The course will be held at the Diagrama Foundation head office on Floor 3 of Anchorage House, Chatham, Kent, ME4 4EE. 
Participants will be expected to attend all six sessions to receive a course completion certificate in Advanced Foster Care - Managing Complex Behaviour.
This course is limited to 20 places. However, we will be operating a waiting list and will also be running a second course in London later this year, so please get in touch if you are interested.
