"Often, children who have experienced trauma will misunderstand your good intentions, and again that can be really exhausting"
In this episode we chat with Mel, one of our Foster4 Therapeutic Practitioners who offers support to our newly approved Foster Carers throughout the first 12 months of their approval. We understand that caring for children who have experienced trauma takes patience, resilience and compassion- and that includes compassion for yourself. It's OK to feel tired. It's OK to feel frustrated. It's OK to need support. Tune in to hear Mel talk honestly about Therapeutic Fostering and why these feelings are more common than you think.
Brought to you by Foster4 Cheshire and Merseyside, your collaborative Local Authority Foster Carer recruitment service for anyone wishing to foster in Cheshire and Merseyside.
