Join us as we mark Fostering Awareness Week 2024 on Tuesday March 5th for our first information session geared towards guiding prospective foster carers on the journey to welcoming a child in care into their home. In this inspiring session, we will delve deep into the essence of fostering – empathy. This vital emotion stands at the core of all types of foster care, serving as the foundation for nurturing environments that support and encourage children in care to flourish.
Empathy is more than a feeling; it's an action, a commitment to understand and share the feelings of another. In the world of fostering, it's about seeing the world through a child's eyes and offering them the understanding and compassion they need to heal and grow. During the webinar you'll hear from Origins team members and you'll get the first hand perspective of an experienced foster carer who will share their powerful stories, demonstrating the transformative effect empathy has had on both their lives and the lives of the children they've cared for.
These narratives will not only touch your heart but also provide practical insights into how empathy can be expressed and nurtured in daily interactions. Attendees will gain knowledge on how to approach various challenges with sensitivity, how to communicate effectively with children who have experienced trauma, and how to use empathetic understanding to build trust and security.
Our info session will highlight the support systems in place for foster carers. From training sessions focused on emotional intelligence to one-on-one support from our dedicated staff, we ensure that all of our carers are well-equipped to provide the best possible care.
If the world of fostering has been calling out to you, make sure you join this unmissable event. You'll be taking a pivotal step towards understanding the impact of fostering and whether it's the right fit for you and your family.
Let's march into fostering with open hearts and minds, ready to transform lives through fostering using the power of empathy.
Reach out for any questions and enquiries. A member of our fostering team will get back to you as soon as possible.
