Newsletter: December 2024
Thankyou!
Well, it’s that time of year again! Shopping, eating, singing the same songs over and over again, watching old movies and generally trying to have a good time!
We know that this time of the year can be tricky for many children and young people and that many of you reading this will be working with them as therapists and professionals. We would like to acknowledge your hard work and dedication throughout the year and during this time. You are all amazing!
We would like to send you all our very best and our hopes that you have time to stop, reflect, relax with family or friends and re-charge the batteries for the fast-approaching new year.
With our best wishes,
Eileen, Jill and Alun.

NEW COURSE! Post Qualifying Creative Therapeutic Life Story Work
This 8-day course is for professionals who want to develop their therapeutic skills offering Life Story Work to children and young people who have been adopted or are in foster care.
Children and young people who have been removed from their families of origin often do not have a clear understanding of their story. This can impact on their identity and overall well-being causing confusion and impact their mental health.
Creative therapeutic life story work will offer the opportunity for children and young people to gain an age-appropriate understanding of their history through the safety of creative therapeutic art.
Designed in consultation with Adoptive Parents, Post Adoption Support Social Worker and Play Therapists who specialise in working with adopted children and young people.
