Therapeutic parenting support
Guidance for carers and professionals to nurture, heal, and support children's needs.
The group programme is based on Kim Golding's "Foundations for Attachment" programme. it aims to support foster carers to understand and feel more confident practicing therapeutic parenting.
For Derby City Supervising Social Workers
A series of monthly half day training sessions will be provided for Derby City Supervising Social workers, between October 2024 and August 2025.
The goal of this is to build confidence and skills for those supporting foster carers with being therapeutic parents within their homes and in their daily lives, recognising the challenges they may face in doing this.
Reflective Practice is provided within Derby City under the DECC contracted provision in the following settings:
- Leaving Care Service
- Foster Carers
- SHINE residential (pending)
This takes a relational, reflective and psycho-educative approach to building the confidence and resilience for those putting therapeutic parenting ideas and trauma informed practice into action.
