Building your Support Network

Adoptive parents always say they need support from people who 'get it’. As time goes on they sometimes become isolated as the people in their network drop off. This might be because of the child's behaviour or the demands of family life. This course aims to highlight this risk and consider ways to encourage parents to build on their support network from the start of their adoption journey. The course will consider informal and formal support from friends, family and professionals. It will be an opportunity to reflect on how that support can be provided and how it changes over time.

Please note this training is funded for First 1000 Days families based in Wales.

This course is also running on Tuesday 31st January, 2023 at 6.30pm.
