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.
A series of monthly half day training sessions can be provided for groups of supervising social workers, residential care workers or foster carers.
The goal of this is to build confidence and skills for therapeutic parents, recognising the challenges they may face in doing this.
Currently this is not included within the new 2025 service model, but is available for spot purchase by individual provisions. Please contact us for more information.
To do this we draw on our RELATE approach, which brings a relational and psycho-educative perspective to reflecting on practice. It aims to build confidence and resilience for professionals and carers who are putting therapeutic parenting ideas and trauma informed practice into action.
From January 2026 we will be launching a new way to sustain these reflective and trauma informed practices across a broader reach in Derby and Derbyshire. More information will be available here: Reflective Practice: our RELATE approach
