Group therapeutic support

Our group therapeutic support groups are safe and welcoming spaces.

Group sessions provide a confidential space for carers to explore attachment and reflect on the needs of the children in their care.

Attachment Group

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.

Each session comprises a combination of group reflection, discussion and activities designed to bring to life key information around the impact of developmental trauma on children and the principles, practice and challenges of therapeutic parenting.

Participants will be supported to contribute to group discussions and reflect on their own experiences of parenting. Facilitators will create a safe and confidential space to support participants to reflect upon the underlying needs of the children in their care and how these may be displayed in their presentation. The group sessions can help carers to explore some obstacles to them feeling connected to their children and consider new ways to build connections.
